High Reflective White vs Pearl Onion

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. High Reflective White reads as beige-greige, while Pearl Onion reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. High Reflective White (LRV 93) reflects noticeably more light than Pearl Onion (LRV 86), a difference of 7 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. The ΔE 5.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
