Soothing White vs Starry Night
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Soothing White belongs to the blue-white family and Starry Night to the blue-grey family. Soothing White (LRV 76) reflects noticeably more light than Starry Night (LRV 69), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Soothing White runs neutral while Starry Night is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 3.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
