Oxford White vs Pure White
Where Oxford White belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Pure White is a RAL Classic color. Oxford White reads as white-yellow, while Pure White reads as beige-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Oxford White (LRV 87) reflects noticeably more light than Pure White (LRV 84), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. 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.
