Silent Smoke vs Snowbound
Where Silent Smoke belongs to PPG's range, Snowbound is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. Snowbound (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than Silent Smoke (LRV 68), a difference of 15 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 7.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
