Pure White vs Synergy
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Pure White belongs to the beige-greige family and Synergy to the blue family. Pure White (LRV 84) reflects noticeably more light than Synergy (LRV 43), a difference of 41 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Pure White runs warm while Synergy is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 43.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
