Reflection vs Pure White
Reflection (Benjamin Moore) and Pure White (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Reflection belongs to the green family and Pure White to the beige-greige family. The 8-point LRV gap — 84 for Pure White vs 76 for Reflection — means Pure White will open up a space more effectively. Where Reflection leans green, Pure White reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 10.6 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Reflection vs Pure White Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Reflection on one side and Pure White on the other.
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.
