Precipitation vs Sourdough

PrecipitationPPGvsSourdoughPPGΔE 16.5 — Distinct difference

Precipitation and Sourdough come from the same PPG collection. Precipitation reads as grey, while Sourdough reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 21-point LRV gap — 62 for Sourdough vs 41 for Precipitation — means Sourdough will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 16.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
