Classic White vs UltraWhite
Where Classic White belongs to Jotun's range, UltraWhite is a Sherwin-Williams color. Classic White reads as beige-greige, while UltraWhite reads as white-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. UltraWhite (LRV 94) reflects noticeably more light than Classic White (LRV 86), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Classic White runs warm while UltraWhite is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 2.8, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
