Poetic License in Benjamin Moore

PPG 1135-1 translated into the Benjamin Moore line

PPG Poetic License 1135-1 on a wall, hex #E4E8E1
Benjamin Moore Gray Lake 2138-70 on a wall, hex #E4E8E2

The closest Benjamin Moore paint to PPG Poetic License (1135-1) is Gray Lake 2138-70, a delta-E of 0.52 away — a direct substitute: on a wall the two are the same color.

Gray Lake is 1.2 LRV points darker, so the room will read slightly deeper. Undertone reads as yellow-green cast against yellow-green cast, at chroma 3.4 and 3.9.

Codes are not transferable between manufacturers and no brand publishes a conversion table, so every figure here is measured from the published hex values rather than taken from a chart.
