Soft Montelimar 6 vs Mauve Tinge
Where Soft Montelimar 6 belongs to Dulux's range, Mauve Tinge is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both whites, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within white to land. Soft Montelimar 6 (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than Mauve Tinge (LRV 76), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. At ΔE 1.4, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
