Spun Cotton vs Gentle Lamb
Where Spun Cotton belongs to PPG's range, Gentle Lamb is a Valspar color. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. Spun Cotton (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than Gentle Lamb (LRV 70), a difference of 13 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 6.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
