Olympus White vs Site White paint color comparison

Olympus White vs Site 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. Site White (LRV 73) reflects noticeably more light than Olympus White (LRV 68), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean neutral, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. At ΔE 2.4, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Olympus White vs Site White in Real Spaces

2 real rooms side by side. Olympus White and Site White are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.

Living Room

In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The brightness difference is modest but present — Site White gives the walls a little more lift.

Bathroom

Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. Site White reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

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.
