Pea Soup vs Tapenade
Pea Soup and Tapenade come from the same PPG collection. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. The 4-point LRV gap — 32 for Pea Soup vs 28 for Tapenade — means Pea Soup will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 3.9 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.
