Oyster White vs Merino
Oyster White is a Sherwin-Williams color while Merino comes from Tikkurila. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. With LRVs of 72 and 74, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. With a ΔE of 1.2, 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.
