Snowfall vs Spatial White
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Snowfall belongs to the greige-grey family and Spatial White to the grey-white family. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (73 vs 72), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. Snowfall runs warm while Spatial White is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 1.8, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Snowfall vs Spatial White in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Snowfall and Spatial White are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. Snowfall brings more warmth to the space, while Spatial White keeps things cooler and crisper.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Snowfall on one side and Spatial White on the other.
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.
