Falling Star vs Sourdough
Both from PPG's palette. Falling Star reads as green-grey, while Sourdough reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (64 vs 62), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. The ΔE 9.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
