Garden View vs Pure White
Garden View (Benjamin Moore) and Pure White (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Garden View belongs to the blue family and Pure White to the beige-greige family. The 59-point LRV gap — 84 for Pure White vs 25 for Garden View — means Pure White will open up a space more effectively. Where Garden View leans green and blue, Pure White reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 55.4 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
