Peacock Blue vs Pure White

Peacock BlueBenjamin MoorevsPure WhiteSherwin-WilliamsΔE 37.0Very different colors

Peacock Blue is a Benjamin Moore color while Pure White comes from Sherwin-Williams. Peacock Blue reads as blue, while Pure White reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 84 vs 37, Pure White will read as the brighter of the two — a 47-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Peacock Blue's blue character against Pure White's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 37.0, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. 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.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
