Cabbage White vs Glimmer
Where Cabbage White belongs to Farrow & Ball's range, Glimmer is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both green-whites, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green-white to land. Cabbage White (LRV 84) reflects noticeably more light than Glimmer (LRV 78), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean cool, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. At ΔE 2.6, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
