Alyssum vs Ibis White
Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Alyssum reads as pink-red, while Ibis White reads as beige-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 84 vs 71, Ibis White will read as the brighter of the two — a 13-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 11.2, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Alyssum vs Ibis White in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Seeing Alyssum and Ibis White in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
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. Ibis White returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Bathroom
Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. The LRV gap is large enough that Ibis White will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Alyssum would.
House
At full exterior scale, the difference between these two colors becomes much easier to judge than from a small chip. The LRV gap is large enough that Ibis White will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Alyssum would.

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