River Reed vs Sourdough
Both from PPG's palette. Hue-wise, River Reed belongs to the beige-yellow family and Sourdough to the beige family. River Reed (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than Sourdough (LRV 62), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 5.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

Digital color is approximate.
