Rough Ride vs Tidepool Wonder
Where Rough Ride belongs to PPG's range, Tidepool Wonder is a Valspar color. These are both blue-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-grey to land. Tidepool Wonder (LRV 27) reflects noticeably more light than Rough Ride (LRV 23), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 6.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
