Aesthetic White vs Talcum
Aesthetic White is a Sherwin-Williams color while Talcum comes from Tikkurila. Both sit in the beige-greige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. With LRVs of 73 and 74, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. With a ΔE of 0.8, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
