Cloudy Day vs Pure White
Where Cloudy Day belongs to PPG's range, Pure White is a Sherwin-Williams color. Hue-wise, Cloudy Day belongs to the green family and Pure White to the beige-greige family. Pure White (LRV 84) reflects noticeably more light than Cloudy Day (LRV 76), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 5.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
