Snail Trail vs Pure White
Where Snail Trail belongs to Dulux's range, Pure White is a Sherwin-Williams color. Snail Trail reads as blue-white, while Pure White reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Pure White (LRV 84) reflects noticeably more light than Snail Trail (LRV 75), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Snail Trail runs cool while Pure White is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 6.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
