Discreet White vs Nouvelle White

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. These are both grey-whites, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey-white to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (72 vs 72), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. Discreet White runs neutral while Nouvelle White is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 0.9, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
