Easy vs Botanical Beauty
Where Easy belongs to PPG's range, Botanical Beauty is a Valspar color. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. Botanical Beauty (LRV 49) reflects noticeably more light than Easy (LRV 45), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 3.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
