Restoration vs Arctic Willow
Where Restoration belongs to PPG's range, Arctic Willow is a Tikkurila color. Both sit in the grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Arctic Willow (LRV 33) reflects noticeably more light than Restoration (LRV 29), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 5.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
