Simply White vs White Down
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Both sit in the beige-white family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Simply White (LRV 90) reflects noticeably more light than White Down (LRV 77), a difference of 13 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Simply White runs yellow while White Down is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 6.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

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.
