Blue Thistle vs Pure White

Blue ThistlePPGvsPure WhiteSherwin-WilliamsΔE 23.1Distinct difference

Blue Thistle (PPG) and Pure White (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Blue Thistle reads as blue, while Pure White reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 32-point LRV gap — 84 for Pure White vs 52 for Blue Thistle — means Pure White will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 23.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. 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.
