Jardin vs Pure White
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Jardin reads as green, while Pure White reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Pure White (LRV 84) reflects noticeably more light than Jardin (LRV 59), a difference of 25 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Jardin runs neutral while Pure White is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 21.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
