Moth Gray vs Pure White

Moth GrayPPGvsPure WhiteSherwin-WilliamsΔE 13.3Distinct difference

Where Moth Gray belongs to PPG's range, Pure White is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. Pure White (LRV 84) reflects noticeably more light than Moth Gray (LRV 58), a difference of 26 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. With a ΔE of 13.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. 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.

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