Extra White reads cooler and sharper than Pure White does. In certain lights (like Northern light), it can look too cool – even icy – compared to Pure White. Extra White will give a crisp, modern look to any room.

Tip: As a self-proclaimed “frugalista”, I recommend buying a few paint samples of your top choices and using them to paint your swatches. It’s so much cheaper than buying gallons of paint!
