Gray Frost vs Sourdough

Gray FrostPPGvsSourdoughPPGΔE 15.6Distinct difference

Gray Frost and Sourdough come from the same PPG collection. Hue-wise, Gray Frost belongs to the blue-grey family and Sourdough to the beige family. The 10-point LRV gap — 62 for Sourdough vs 52 for Gray Frost — means Sourdough will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 15.6 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.

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.
