Wimborne WhiteFarrow & BallvsTrainPPGΔE 19.0Distinct difference

The 36-point LRV gap — 90 for Wimborne White vs 54 for Train — means Wimborne White will open up a space more effectively.

Wimborne White vs Train in Real Spaces

6 real rooms side by side. Seeing Wimborne White and Train in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.

Living Room

A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Wimborne White reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Train.

Bedroom

Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Wimborne White returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Dining Room

Dining rooms often rely on warm incandescent or candlelight, which flatters warm undertones and mutes cool ones. The LRV gap is large enough that Wimborne White will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Train would.

Bathroom

Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. Wimborne White returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Mudroom

In a hardworking space like a mudroom, the depth and warmth of a color reads differently than in a quieter room. The LRV gap is large enough that Wimborne White will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Train would.

House

A full exterior is the most demanding test for a paint color — scale and outdoor light both amplify differences that seem small on a swatch. Wimborne White returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
