Soft Cream vs Gentle Lamb
Where Soft Cream belongs to PPG's range, Gentle Lamb is a Valspar color. Soft Cream reads as beige-yellow, while Gentle Lamb reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Soft Cream (LRV 84) reflects noticeably more light than Gentle Lamb (LRV 70), a difference of 14 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 8.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
