Intuitive vs Pure White

IntuitivePPGvsPure WhiteSherwin-WilliamsΔE 13.5Distinct difference

Intuitive (PPG) and Pure White (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. The 26-point LRV gap — 84 for Pure White vs 58 for Intuitive — means Pure White will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 13.5 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.
