Oyster Shell vs Pure White
Oyster Shell (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 56-point LRV gap — 84 for Pure White vs 28 for Oyster Shell — means Pure White will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 33.7 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
