Super NovaBenjamin MoorevsWood VioletBenjamin MooreΔE 0.7 — Imperceptible difference

Both are Benjamin Moore colors. Hue-wise, Super Nova belongs to the grey family and Wood Violet to the blue-grey family. With LRVs of 10 and 10, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. They share a purple quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. With a ΔE of 0.7, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. 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. 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.
