Super White vs Tonic
Super White (Benjamin Moore) and Tonic (Cloverdale Paint) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Super White belongs to the white family and Tonic to the green-white family. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 87 vs 87 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. A ΔE of 0.5 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Super White vs Tonic in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Super White and Tonic 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.
Living Room
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. At this scale the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side, as shown here, to reliably tell them apart.
Dining Room
Dining rooms often rely on warm incandescent or candlelight, which flatters warm undertones and mutes cool ones. The two are close enough that the choice comes down to finer qualities — undertone, texture, what the color sits next to.

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