Thin Ice vs Wheat Sheaf

Thin IcePPGvsWheat SheafPPGΔE 9.7 — Noticeable difference

Both from PPG's palette. Thin Ice reads as grey, while Wheat Sheaf reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Thin Ice (LRV 70) reflects noticeably more light than Wheat Sheaf (LRV 65), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 9.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. 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. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
