Lily White vs Gauze - Mid
Lily White is a Benjamin Moore color while Gauze - Mid comes from Little Greene. These are both blue-whites, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-white to land. With LRVs of 80 and 79, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. They share a blue quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. With a ΔE of 1.6, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.
