Inspired Lilac vs Original White

Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Hue-wise, Inspired Lilac belongs to the purple-red family and Original White to the greige-grey family. At LRV 74 vs 71, Original White will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Inspired Lilac's cool character against Original White's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 7.5, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.

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.
