Portabella vs Llama Wool
Where Portabella belongs to PPG's range, Llama Wool is a Sherwin-Williams color. Portabella reads as greige-grey, while Llama Wool reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (20 vs 20), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. The ΔE 3.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
