Tidal Foam vs Pure White
Where Tidal Foam belongs to PPG's range, Pure White is a RAL Classic color. Hue-wise, Tidal Foam belongs to the green family and Pure White to the beige-white family. Pure White (LRV 84) reflects noticeably more light than Tidal Foam (LRV 78), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 4.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
