Oyster vs White
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Oyster belongs to the white family and White to the green-white family. White (LRV 84) reflects noticeably more light than Oyster (LRV 80), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Oyster runs red while White is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 2.2, 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.
