Aleutian vs Original White
Aleutian and Original White come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Hue-wise, Aleutian belongs to the blue family and Original White to the greige-grey family. The 35-point LRV gap — 74 for Original White vs 38 for Aleutian — means Original White will open up a space more effectively. Where Aleutian leans cool, Original White reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 23.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
