Distant Gray vs All White
Distant Gray (Benjamin Moore) and All White (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Distant Gray reads as green-grey, while All White reads as beige-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 6-point LRV gap — 94 for All White vs 88 for Distant Gray — means All White will open up a space more effectively. Where Distant Gray leans green, All White reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 2.5 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Distant Gray vs All White in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Distant Gray and All White are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Bedroom
Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. All White has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

Distant Gray vs All White Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Distant Gray on one side and All White on the other.
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.
