Elegant Ivory vs Pure White
Where Elegant Ivory belongs to PPG's range, Pure White is a Sherwin-Williams color. Hue-wise, Elegant Ivory belongs to the beige family and Pure White to the beige-greige family. Pure White (LRV 84) reflects noticeably more light than Elegant Ivory (LRV 79), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 6.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
