Off White vs Soul
Off White (Behr) and Soul (Jotun) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Off White belongs to the beige-white family and Soul to the beige-yellow family. The 4-point LRV gap — 80 for Soul vs 76 for Off White — means Soul will open up a space more effectively. Where Off White leans yellow, Soul reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 2.1 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Off White vs Soul in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Off White and Soul are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Soul reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
