Brainstorm vs Trek
Brainstorm is a PPG color while Trek comes from Tikkurila. Brainstorm reads as yellow, while Trek reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 67 vs 64, Trek will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. With a ΔE of 2.9, 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.

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