Bone White vs Pure White
Bone White (PPG) and Pure White (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Bone White reads as beige-white, while Pure White reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 14-point LRV gap — 84 for Pure White vs 70 for Bone White — means Pure White will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 10.4 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.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Bone White on one side and Pure White on the other.
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.
