Whimsical White vs Windchill

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Whimsical White belongs to the white family and Windchill to the grey family. Whimsical White (LRV 79) reflects noticeably more light than Windchill (LRV 68), a difference of 11 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Whimsical White runs cool while Windchill is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 6.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
