Palace Tan vs Pure White
Where Palace Tan belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Pure White is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. Pure White (LRV 84) reflects noticeably more light than Palace Tan (LRV 29), a difference of 55 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Palace Tan runs red while Pure White is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 36.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
