Egg White vs Shell White
Egg White is a Jotun color while Shell White comes from Sherwin-Williams. These are both beige-whites, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-white to land. With LRVs of 84 and 83, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. They share a warm quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. With a ΔE of 1.2, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
