Real Simple vs Expance
Real Simple is a PPG color while Expance comes from Tikkurila. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. At LRV 51 vs 48, Expance will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. With a ΔE of 1.6, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.

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.
