Oyster white vs Antique White
Oyster white (RAL Classic) and Antique White (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Both sit in the beige-white family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 71 vs 72 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. A ΔE of 2.5 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
