Extra White vs White Sail
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Extra White belongs to the white family and White Sail to the greige-white family. Extra White (LRV 86) reflects noticeably more light than White Sail (LRV 83), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean neutral, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. At ΔE 1.4, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
