PPG
·
Dulux

Tinsel (PPG) and Frosted Steel (Dulux) come from different manufacturers. The 4-point LRV gap — 72 for Frosted Steel vs 68 for Tinsel — means Frosted Steel will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 1.6 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room.

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.
