Huntington Beige vs Pure White

Where Huntington Beige belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Pure White is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. Pure White (LRV 84) reflects noticeably more light than Huntington Beige (LRV 40), a difference of 44 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Huntington Beige runs red while Pure White is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 28.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
