Antique White vs Polar Bear

Antique White and Polar Bear come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Hue-wise, Antique White belongs to the beige-white family and Polar Bear to the beige family. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 72 vs 74 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Both share a warm character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 1.5 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room.
