Pale Almond (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than Antique White (LRV 56), a difference of 13 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light.

The ΔE 9.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

Pale Almond vs Antique White in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Pale Almond and Antique White are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that Pale Almond will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Antique White would.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. Pale Almond reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Antique White.
