Metallic Mist vs Pure White
Metallic Mist (PPG) and Pure White (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Metallic Mist reads as greige-grey, while Pure White reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 25-point LRV gap — 84 for Pure White vs 59 for Metallic Mist — means Pure White will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 12.3 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
