At LRV 76 vs 28, Toque White will read as the brighter of the two — a 48-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Dusty Heather's cool character against Toque White's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
