Chalkware vs Naval
Chalkware (PPG) and Naval (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Chalkware reads as beige, while Naval reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 58-point LRV gap — 62 for Chalkware vs 4 for Naval — means Chalkware will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 63.6 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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