Palais White vs Frost Bite
Palais White (Behr) and Frost Bite (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Palais White belongs to the beige-white family and Frost Bite to the beige family. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 87 vs 88 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Palais White leans yellow and red, Frost Bite reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 0.7 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Palais White vs Frost Bite in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Palais White and Frost Bite 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. At this scale the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side, as shown here, to reliably tell them apart.
Bathroom
Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. In photos like these you're seeing the difference at its most direct. In a finished room, the distinction is there but not dramatic.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Palais White on one side and Frost Bite on the other.
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.
