Gray Mirage vs Pure White
Where Gray Mirage belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Pure White is a Sherwin-Williams color. Both sit in the beige-greige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Pure White (LRV 84) reflects noticeably more light than Gray Mirage (LRV 54), a difference of 30 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Gray Mirage runs yellow while Pure White is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 15.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

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.
