Prussian Blue vs Artichoke

Prussian BluePPGvsArtichokeSherwin-WilliamsΔE 26.2Very different colors

Prussian Blue is a PPG color while Artichoke comes from Sherwin-Williams. Prussian Blue reads as blue, while Artichoke reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. With LRVs of 19 and 21, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. At ΔE 26.2, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. 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.
