Greek Villa vs Pearly White

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Greek Villa belongs to the beige family and Pearly White to the beige-greige family. Greek Villa (LRV 84) reflects noticeably more light than Pearly White (LRV 77), a difference of 7 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. The ΔE 3.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 8 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Greek Villa vs Pearly White in Real Spaces

8 real rooms side by side. Greek Villa and Pearly White are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.

Living Room

In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The brightness difference is modest but present — Greek Villa gives the walls a little more lift.

Bedroom

The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Greek Villa reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

Digital color is approximate.
