Pure White vs Sprout
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Pure White belongs to the beige-greige family and Sprout to the beige-yellow family. Pure White (LRV 84) reflects noticeably more light than Sprout (LRV 76), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Pure White runs warm while Sprout is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 8.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

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.
