Tortuga vs Iron Ore
Tortuga (PPG) and Iron Ore (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Tortuga reads as greige-grey, while Iron Ore reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 16-point LRV gap — 22 for Tortuga vs 6 for Iron Ore — means Tortuga will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 27.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
