Chalk White vs Marilyn's Dress
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Chalk White reads as green-white, while Marilyn's Dress reads as blue-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Chalk White (LRV 82) reflects noticeably more light than Marilyn's Dress (LRV 76), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Chalk White runs green while Marilyn's Dress is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 3.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
