Soft Cream vs Dough
Soft Cream is a PPG color while Dough comes from Tikkurila. Soft Cream reads as beige-yellow, while Dough reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. With LRVs of 84 and 82, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. At ΔE 4.7, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.

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.
