Lavender Wisp vs Shoji White
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Lavender Wisp reads as blue-white, while Shoji White reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Lavender Wisp (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than Shoji White (LRV 74), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Lavender Wisp runs cool while Shoji White is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 9.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
