Early Rain vs Percale
Early Rain is a Jotun color while Percale comes from PPG. Early Rain reads as beige-greige, while Percale reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. With LRVs of 79 and 81, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. With a ΔE of 2.0, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
