Mantra vs Whimsical White
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Mantra reads as green-white, while Whimsical White reads as white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Whimsical White (LRV 79) reflects noticeably more light than Mantra (LRV 75), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean cool, 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.
