Pure White vs Carnosa
Pure White (Sherwin-Williams) and Carnosa (Tikkurila) come from different manufacturers. Pure White reads as beige-greige, while Carnosa reads as pink-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 28-point LRV gap — 84 for Pure White vs 56 for Carnosa — means Pure White will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 19.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
