Difference between 颜 and 顔


I have seen both used like 笑颜 and 笑顔 to mean smile (noun). afaik both are
pronouced as えがお (somebody correct me if I'm wrong, ビギナーだ).

So what exactly is the difference?




I think `颜` is the simplified Chinese form of `顔`, and that it generally is
only used in simplified Chinese (and that it isn't really used in Japanese),
but they both have the same meaning.
