Secret Safari vs Parakeet
Where Secret Safari belongs to PPG's range, Parakeet is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both beige-yellows, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-yellow to land. Secret Safari (LRV 47) reflects noticeably more light than Parakeet (LRV 41), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 5.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
