Alyssa vs Artichoke
Alyssa (PPG) and Artichoke (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Alyssa reads as beige, while Artichoke reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 56-point LRV gap — 77 for Alyssa vs 21 for Artichoke — means Alyssa will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 39.6 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Alyssa on one side and Artichoke 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.
