Oyster white vs Welcome White
Where Oyster white belongs to RAL Classic's range, Welcome White is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both beige-whites, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-white to land. Welcome White (LRV 78) reflects noticeably more light than Oyster white (LRV 71), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 5.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
