Grounded Red vs Raspberry Truffle
Grounded Red (Jotun) and Raspberry Truffle (PPG) come from different manufacturers. Grounded Red reads as beige-pink, while Raspberry Truffle reads as pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 3-point LRV gap — 17 for Grounded Red vs 14 for Raspberry Truffle — means Grounded Red will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 5.8 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Grounded Red vs Raspberry Truffle in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Grounded Red and Raspberry Truffle 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.
Living Room
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Grounded Red reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
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. Grounded Red has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
Dining Room
Dining rooms often rely on warm incandescent or candlelight, which flatters warm undertones and mutes cool ones. The brightness difference is modest but present — Grounded Red gives the walls a little more lift.
Bathroom
Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. Grounded Red has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

Grounded Red vs Raspberry Truffle Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Grounded Red on one side and Raspberry Truffle 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.
