Distant Valley vs Snowbound
Distant Valley (PPG) and Snowbound (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Both sit in the beige-greige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 36-point LRV gap — 83 for Snowbound vs 47 for Distant Valley — means Snowbound will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 22.6 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.

Distant Valley vs Snowbound Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Distant Valley on one side and Snowbound 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.
