Gardenia vs Indian White
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Gardenia reads as beige, while Indian White reads as beige-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Gardenia (LRV 78) reflects noticeably more light than Indian White (LRV 72), a difference of 6 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 3.0, 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.
