Simply White vs Clear Yellow
Where Simply White belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Clear Yellow is a PPG color. Simply White reads as beige-white, while Clear Yellow reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Simply White (LRV 90) reflects noticeably more light than Clear Yellow (LRV 87), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 2.1, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
