Uptown TaupePPGvsGentle LambValsparΔE 4.8Noticeable difference

Uptown Taupe is a PPG color while Gentle Lamb comes from Valspar. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. At LRV 79 vs 70, Uptown Taupe will read as the brighter of the two — a 9-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 4.8, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.
