Glass Bead vs Original White

Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Glass Bead reads as blue-white, while Original White reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 77 vs 74, Glass Bead will read as the brighter of the two — a 4-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Glass Bead's cool character against Original White's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 4.3, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.
