Cool Cantaloupe vs Pure White
Cool Cantaloupe (PPG) and Pure White (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Cool Cantaloupe reads as pink-red, while Pure White reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 15-point LRV gap — 84 for Pure White vs 69 for Cool Cantaloupe — means Pure White will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 12.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
