Solid vs Choo Choo
Where Solid belongs to Jotun's range, Choo Choo is a PPG color. Solid reads as greige-grey, while Choo Choo reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (19 vs 19), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. The ΔE 6.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Solid vs Choo Choo in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Solid and Choo Choo 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
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. Side by side like this, the difference is easy to read — which is exactly why seeing them in a real space is more useful than comparing chips.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. The distinction reads clearly at room scale, making the choice between them concrete.

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