After the Rain vs Original White

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, After the Rain belongs to the blue family and Original White to the greige-grey family. Original White (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than After the Rain (LRV 49), a difference of 24 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. After the Rain runs cool while Original White is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 25.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

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.
