Steeped Tea vs Winter Feather

Steeped TeaPPGvsWinter FeatherPPGΔE 2.3Subtle difference

Both from PPG's palette. Both sit in the grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Steeped Tea (LRV 30) reflects noticeably more light than Winter Feather (LRV 26), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 2.3, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
