White Heron vs Winter White
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. White Heron reads as white-yellow, while Winter White reads as white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. White Heron (LRV 87) reflects noticeably more light than Winter White (LRV 80), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. White Heron runs yellow while Winter White is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 2.9, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.

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.
