Gray Horse vs Pure White
Gray Horse is a Benjamin Moore color while Pure White comes from Sherwin-Williams. Gray Horse reads as grey, while Pure White reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 84 vs 49, Pure White will read as the brighter of the two — a 35-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Gray Horse's yellow character against Pure White's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 18.0, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.
