Stormy vs Driftwood Blues

StormyPPGvsDriftwood BluesValsparΔE 2.0Subtle difference

Stormy is a PPG color while Driftwood Blues comes from Valspar. Both sit in the blue-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. At LRV 49 vs 46, Stormy will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. With a ΔE of 2.0, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. 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.
