Salt vs Moondance
Salt (Farrow & Ball) and Moondance (PPG) come from different manufacturers. Salt reads as greige-white, while Moondance reads as white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 3-point LRV gap — 78 for Salt vs 75 for Moondance — means Salt will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 2.5 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Salt vs Moondance in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Salt and Moondance are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Bedroom
Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. In photos like these you're seeing the difference at its most direct. In a finished room, the distinction is there but not dramatic.

Salt vs Moondance Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Salt on one side and Moondance 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.
