White Smoke vs Snowbound
Where White Smoke belongs to PPG's range, Snowbound is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. Snowbound (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than White Smoke (LRV 80), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 6.4 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.
