Destiny vs Pure White
Destiny and Pure White come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Destiny reads as grey, while Pure White reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 25-point LRV gap — 84 for Pure White vs 59 for Destiny — means Pure White will open up a space more effectively. Where Destiny leans neutral, Pure White reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 12.3 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
