Aesthetic White vs Mushroom
Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. At LRV 73 vs 57, Aesthetic White will read as the brighter of the two — a 16-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. They share a warm quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 8.5, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Aesthetic White vs Mushroom in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Aesthetic White and Mushroom are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Aesthetic White returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Aesthetic White vs Mushroom Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Aesthetic White on one side and Mushroom on the other.
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.
