Slate PebblePPGvsShantungTikkurilaΔE 2.2Subtle difference

Where Slate Pebble belongs to PPG's range, Shantung is a Tikkurila color. Both sit in the grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (43 vs 45), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. At ΔE 2.2, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
