Pure White vs Reflection
Pure White is a Benjamin Moore color while Reflection comes from Jotun. Pure White reads as green-white, while Reflection reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. With LRVs of 79 and 81, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. The tonal difference — Pure White's green character against Reflection's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 3.1, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.

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.
