Meditative vs Original White
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Meditative belongs to the blue-grey family and Original White to the greige-grey family. Original White (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Meditative (LRV 38), a difference of 35 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Meditative runs cool while Original White is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 22.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
