Soleil vs Artichoke
Soleil (PPG) and Artichoke (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Soleil belongs to the beige family and Artichoke to the grey family. The 55-point LRV gap — 76 for Soleil vs 21 for Artichoke — means Soleil will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 38.0 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.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Soleil on one side and Artichoke on the other.
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.
