Nouvelle White vs Snowfall
Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Hue-wise, Nouvelle White belongs to the grey-white family and Snowfall to the greige-grey family. With LRVs of 72 and 73, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. They share a warm quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. With a ΔE of 1.6, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.

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.
