Cloud Nine vs Whimsical White
Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. These are both whites, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within white to land. With LRVs of 78 and 79, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. The tonal difference — Cloud Nine's neutral character against Whimsical White's cool — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. With a ΔE of 1.6, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.
