Artemesia vs Pure White
Artemesia is a PPG color while Pure White comes from Sherwin-Williams. Artemesia reads as blue, while Pure White reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 84 vs 81, Pure White will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 4.2, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.

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.
