Why people switch between Behr and PPG
Most people comparing Behr to PPG are not shopping for a new colour. They have already chosen one, and then hit a price difference or a painter who buys from a single supplier. The question is what goes on the wall instead.

Nearly the same lightness, with a small hue shift. Its LRV is 2.0 points lower.
