Profoto has announced three new hard reflectors with white interiors and a couple of white grids. While Profoto has had silver versions of the Magnum, Zoom and Tele Zoom reflectors, the white interiors were something photographers have wanted for a while. The white interiors on these reflectors create a softer, more even, and wider spread of light. The effect is a greater control of light, allowing you feather the light when desired.
While the white interior does not increase the output as much as a hard reflector with a silver interior, I can see these new white hard reflectors becoming quite popular much like the Softlight Reflector White (Beauty dish) vs the Softlight Reflector Silver. So, what is the difference between a black grid and a white grid? Much the same as the silver vs white hard reflectors, both black and white grids narrow the light beam, but the white grid creates a wider light spread.
Profoto has put together a great guide showing the light effects and differences between the hard reflector white vs silver, as well as the new white grid vs black grid. The results might surprise you: https://www.beauphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/lights/Profoto/Hard-Reflector/Light-effect-guides-White-hard-reflectors.pdf
