Natural Wool vs Shell White
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Natural Wool reads as beige, while Shell White reads as beige-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Shell White (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than Natural Wool (LRV 59), a difference of 24 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 15.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

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.
