Pure White vs River Rouge
Pure White and River Rouge come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Pure White reads as beige-greige, while River Rouge reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 72-point LRV gap — 84 for Pure White vs 12 for River Rouge — means Pure White will open up a space more effectively. Both share a warm character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 54.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Digital color is approximate.
