Edgecomb Gray vs Winter White paint color comparison

Edgecomb Gray vs Winter White

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Edgecomb Gray belongs to the beige-greige family and Winter White to the white family. Winter White (LRV 80) reflects noticeably more light than Edgecomb Gray (LRV 63), a difference of 16 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Edgecomb Gray runs red while Winter White is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 9.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
