Bread Basket vs Pure White
Bread Basket (PPG) and Pure White (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Bread Basket reads as beige, while Pure White reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 59-point LRV gap — 84 for Pure White vs 25 for Bread Basket — means Pure White will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 44.7 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
