Lace vs Pure White

LaceCloverdale PaintvsPure WhiteSherwin-WilliamsΔE 2.1Subtle difference

Lace is a Cloverdale Paint color while Pure White comes from Sherwin-Williams. Lace reads as white-yellow, while Pure White reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 88 vs 84, Lace will read as the brighter of the two — a 4-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. With a ΔE of 2.1, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Lace vs Pure White in Real Spaces

4 real rooms side by side. Lace and Pure White are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.

Living Room

Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Lace has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

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.
