Pony Tail vs Purity
Both from PPG's palette. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. Purity (LRV 80) reflects noticeably more light than Pony Tail (LRV 50), a difference of 30 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. With a ΔE of 19.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
