Heavenly White vs Soothing White
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Heavenly White reads as greige-white, while Soothing White reads as blue-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Heavenly White (LRV 81) reflects noticeably more light than Soothing White (LRV 76), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Heavenly White runs warm while Soothing White is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 3.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
