Echo vs Magic Dust
Echo and Magic Dust come from the same PPG collection. Hue-wise, Echo belongs to the green family and Magic Dust to the grey family. The 56-point LRV gap — 77 for Echo vs 21 for Magic Dust — means Echo will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 39.4 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.

Echo vs Magic Dust Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Echo on one side and Magic Dust 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.
