Doodle vs Joy
Doodle is a PPG color while Joy comes from Tikkurila. Both sit in the beige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. At LRV 79 vs 73, Joy will read as the brighter of the two — a 6-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 4.6, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.

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.
