Water Iris vs Bungalow
Where Water Iris belongs to PPG's range, Bungalow is a Tikkurila color. Water Iris reads as blue, while Bungalow reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Water Iris (LRV 77) reflects noticeably more light than Bungalow (LRV 73), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 3.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. 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.
