PPG to Farrow & Ball is a specialty-brand switch — F&B's depth and chalky finish aren't a like-for-like replacement for PPG's commercial-leaning lines. Cross-shoppers typically want specific F&B colors (Pigeon, Pelt, Hague Blue) and need PPG's closest hex matches as a budget alternative. Delta E 2-4 is realistic; the finish character still differs.
