Boardwalk vs Iron Ore
Boardwalk is a PPG color while Iron Ore comes from Sherwin-Williams. Boardwalk reads as beige-pink, while Iron Ore reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 68 vs 6, Boardwalk will read as the brighter of the two — a 62-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 58.3, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.

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.
