Tarragon vs White Snow
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Tarragon belongs to the blue-grey family and White Snow to the beige-greige family. White Snow (LRV 90) reflects noticeably more light than Tarragon (LRV 7), a difference of 83 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Tarragon runs cool while White Snow is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 64.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

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.
