Full Moon vs Pure White
Where Full Moon belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Pure White is a Sherwin-Williams color. Full Moon reads as blue-white, while Pure White reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Pure White (LRV 84) reflects noticeably more light than Full Moon (LRV 75), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Full Moon runs blue while Pure White is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 5.3 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.
