Clean Slate vs White Snow
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Clean Slate reads as blue-green, while White Snow reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. White Snow (LRV 90) reflects noticeably more light than Clean Slate (LRV 76), a difference of 14 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Clean Slate runs neutral while White Snow is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 6.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
