Graphite vs Super White

GraphiteBenjamin MoorevsSuper WhiteBenjamin MooreΔE 65.8 — Very different colors

Both are Benjamin Moore colors. Graphite reads as grey, while Super White reads as white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 87 vs 8, Super White will read as the brighter of the two — a 80-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Graphite's blue character against Super White's green — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 65.8, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Graphite vs Super White in Real Spaces

2 real rooms side by side. Seeing Graphite and Super White in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.

Living Room

Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Super White returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Kitchen Cabinets

On cabinetry, undertone and temperature become more pronounced against countertops and hardware. The LRV gap is large enough that Super White will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Graphite would.

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.
