Aura White vs Upward
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Aura White belongs to the blue-white family and Upward to the blue family. Aura White (LRV 76) reflects noticeably more light than Upward (LRV 57), a difference of 18 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean cool, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 9.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
