Nonchalant White vs Starry Night
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Nonchalant White belongs to the beige-greige family and Starry Night to the blue-grey family. Nonchalant White (LRV 72) reflects noticeably more light than Starry Night (LRV 69), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Nonchalant White runs warm while Starry Night is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 9.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
