Wilderness vs Pure White
Wilderness (PPG) and Pure White (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Wilderness belongs to the greige-grey family and Pure White to the beige-greige family. The 62-point LRV gap — 84 for Pure White vs 22 for Wilderness — means Pure White will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 42.1 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.
