Nouvelle White vs Spatial White

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Both sit in the grey-white family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (72 vs 72), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. Nouvelle White runs warm while Spatial White is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 1.6, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
