Frost Bite vs Shell White
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Frost Bite belongs to the beige family and Shell White to the beige-white family. Frost Bite (LRV 88) reflects noticeably more light than Shell White (LRV 83), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. At ΔE 1.9, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
