Pure White vs H496
Pure White is a Sherwin-Williams color while H496 comes from Tikkurila. Pure White reads as beige-greige, while H496 reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 84 vs 67, Pure White will read as the brighter of the two — a 17-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 8.4, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.

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.
