Valor vs Iron Ore
Valor (PPG) and Iron Ore (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Valor reads as blue, while Iron Ore reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 44-point LRV gap — 50 for Valor vs 6 for Iron Ore — means Valor will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 50.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Valor on one side and Iron Ore on the other.
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.
