Pure White vs Super White
Both are Benjamin Moore colors. Pure White reads as green-white, while Super White reads as white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 87 vs 79, Super White will read as the brighter of the two — a 8-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. They share a green quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 3.9, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Pure White vs Super White in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Pure White and Super 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.
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 Pure White would.

Pure White vs Super White Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Pure White on one side and Super 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.
