Inox vs Original White paint color comparison

Inox vs Original White

Inox is a Little Greene color while Original White comes from Sherwin-Williams. Hue-wise, Inox belongs to the grey family and Original White to the greige-grey family. At LRV 74 vs 71, Original White will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Inox's yellow character against Original White's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. With a ΔE of 2.0, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
