MauvelousPPGvsPure WhiteSherwin-WilliamsΔE 23.5Distinct difference

The 34-point LRV gap — 84 for Pure White vs 50 for Mauvelous — means Pure White will open up a space more effectively.

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.
