Photo Gray vs Purity
Both from PPG's palette. Photo Gray reads as greige-grey, while Purity reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Purity (LRV 80) reflects noticeably more light than Photo Gray (LRV 40), a difference of 40 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. With a ΔE of 22.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
