Butter vs Delicate White
Butter and Delicate White come from the same PPG collection. Butter reads as beige-yellow, while Delicate White reads as white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 6-point LRV gap — 88 for Delicate White vs 82 for Butter — means Delicate White will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 24.7 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
