Demeter vs Pure White
Demeter (PPG) and Pure White (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Demeter reads as beige-yellow, while Pure White reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 16-point LRV gap — 84 for Pure White vs 68 for Demeter — means Pure White will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 29.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Demeter on one side and Pure White on the other.
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.
