Where Timson Green belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Pure White is a Sherwin-Williams color. Timson Green reads as green-yellow, while Pure White reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Pure White (LRV 84) reflects noticeably more light than Timson Green (LRV 17), a difference of 67 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Timson Green runs yellow while Pure White is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 55.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
