Mountain Moss vs Pure White

Mountain MossDuluxvsPure WhiteSherwin-WilliamsΔE 54.2Very different colors

Mountain Moss (Dulux) and Pure White (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Mountain Moss belongs to the beige-yellow family and Pure White to the beige-greige family. The 58-point LRV gap — 84 for Pure White vs 26 for Mountain Moss — means Pure White will open up a space more effectively. Both share a warm character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways.

Digital color is approximate.

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