Lime White vs White Down paint color comparison

Lime White vs White Down

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Both sit in the beige-white family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (75 vs 77), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. Lime White runs red while White Down is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 1.6, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
