Muslin vs Pure White
Muslin (Benjamin Moore) and Pure White (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Muslin belongs to the beige family and Pure White to the beige-greige family. The 17-point LRV gap — 84 for Pure White vs 67 for Muslin — means Pure White will open up a space more effectively. Both share a warm character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 11.4 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Muslin on one side and Pure White on the other.
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.
