Frostwork vs Gypsum
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Frostwork reads as green-grey, while Gypsum reads as white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Gypsum (LRV 82) reflects noticeably more light than Frostwork (LRV 62), a difference of 21 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. With a ΔE of 11.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

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.
