Commercial White PPG 1025-1

PPG Commercial White (PPG1025-1) LRV and undertone

PPG Commercial White (PPG1025-1) has an LRV of 83, placing it in the light range with strong light-reflecting properties. Light reflectance value measures how much visible light a color reflects, on a scale from 0 for black to 100 for white. With its high LRV, Commercial White can help rooms feel brighter, although actual results depend on window size, exposure, and surrounding surfaces. It belongs to the white color family and has a subtle warm, yellow undertone calculated from its Lab values.

That undertone may become more noticeable beside cooler whites or under warm artificial lighting. In north-facing rooms, daylight can emphasize cooler contrasts, while south-facing rooms generally receive warmer light. Compare a sample with flooring, cabinetry, and trim before choosing a finish. A contrasting trim white can make small undertone differences easier to see.

PPG Commercial White in other brands

Several cross-brand colors have closely matching measured values. Sherwin-Williams Pure White (SW 7005) has a ΔE of 0.0, meaning the colors are near-identical in the comparison data. Valspar Du Jour (7002-6) has a ΔE of 0.8, also indicating a near-identical match. Sherwin-Williams Extra White (SW 7006) and Valspar Swiss Coffee (7002-16) each have a ΔE of 1.1, making them very close alternatives.

Behr Cameo White (MQ3-32) has a ΔE of 1.3, while Benjamin Moore White Dove (OC-17) measures 1.4. These are very close matches, but differences may become visible when painted side by side. Benjamin Moore White Heron (OC-57) has a ΔE of 1.5, and Behr Whipped Cream (DC-001) measures 1.9. ΔE describes measured color difference, not a guarantee that two paints will look identical under every light source.

Lighter and darker PPG alternatives

For a lighter option, PPG Delicate White (PPG1001-1) has an LRV of 88, five points above Commercial White. Its ΔE of 1.7 indicates a very close color match despite the higher reflectance. It may suit rooms where greater reflected light is a priority. For a darker alternative, PPG Aria (PPG1001-2) has an LRV of 77, six points lower, and a neutral undertone. It can provide a clearer shift away from bright white without moving into a substantially darker range.

PPG Hourglass (PPG1022-1), with an LRV of 75 and a warm yellow undertone, offers a more noticeable reduction in reflectance. PPG Antique White (PPG1024-2) has an LRV of 72 and a ΔE of 6.0, so it is only similar in measured color. Test each candidate on multiple walls, since daylight direction and sheen affect how differences appear.
