Which should you pick

Rules of thumb computed from the LRV and Lab values in the table above; no room test was done.

Pick White Duck (SW 7010) for a small room or a north-facing room, because it is 1 LRV points lighter (74 vs 73), so it bounces back more of the limited light
Pick Aesthetic White (SW 7035) for a south-facing room, because its Lab b* is 5.6 against 7.1, so it is the cooler of the two and offsets warm direct sun
Pick White Duck (SW 7010) to warm a north-facing room, because it is the warmer of the two (Lab b* 7.1), which counters cool indirect light
