Sausalito vs Pure White
Where Sausalito belongs to PPG's range, Pure White is a Sherwin-Williams color. Sausalito reads as beige, while Pure White reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Pure White (LRV 84) reflects noticeably more light than Sausalito (LRV 77), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. With a ΔE of 14.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

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.
