Simply White vs Soleil

Simply WhiteBenjamin MoorevsSoleilBenjamin MooreΔE 19.9Distinct difference

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Simply White belongs to the beige-white family and Soleil to the beige family. Simply White (LRV 90) reflects noticeably more light than Soleil (LRV 79), a difference of 10 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Simply White runs yellow while Soleil is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 19.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
