Pure White vs Scuba Green
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Pure White reads as green-white, while Scuba Green reads as blue-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Pure White (LRV 79) reflects noticeably more light than Scuba Green (LRV 61), a difference of 18 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Pure White runs green while Scuba Green is decidedly green and blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 30.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. 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.
