Precipitation vs Ash
Precipitation (PPG) and Ash (Tikkurila) come from different manufacturers. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. The 3-point LRV gap — 41 for Precipitation vs 38 for Ash — means Precipitation will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 1.9 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Precipitation vs Ash Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Precipitation on one side and Ash on the other.
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.
