New White vs Corona
New White is a Farrow & Ball color while Corona comes from Sherwin-Williams. New White reads as beige-white, while Corona reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 85 vs 82, Corona will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. They share a warm quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. With a ΔE of 2.0, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
New White vs Corona in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. New White and Corona 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.
Living Room
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Corona has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see New White on one side and Corona 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.
