Stoneware vs Antique White
Where Stoneware belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Antique White is a Cloverdale Paint color. Stoneware reads as beige-yellow, while Antique White reads as beige-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Antique White (LRV 84) reflects noticeably more light than Stoneware (LRV 81), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 0.7, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Stoneware vs Antique White in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Stoneware and Antique 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
In a kitchen, colors are seen under bright task lighting that amplifies undertones — what reads neutral elsewhere can show its hand here. At this scale the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side, as shown here, to reliably tell them apart.
Dining Room
A dining room lit by a dimmed pendant or candles is one of the most forgiving environments for paint — warm light softens almost everything. In photos like these you're seeing the difference at its most direct. In a finished room, the distinction is there but not dramatic.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Stoneware on one side and Antique 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.
