Sharkskin vs Claystone
Sharkskin (PPG) and Claystone (Tikkurila) come from different manufacturers. These are both greige-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within greige-grey to land. The 3-point LRV gap — 43 for Claystone vs 40 for Sharkskin — means Claystone will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 2.4 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room.

Digital color is approximate.
