Super White vs Ammonite
Super White (Benjamin Moore) and Ammonite (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Super White reads as white, while Ammonite reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 18-point LRV gap — 87 for Super White vs 69 for Ammonite — means Super White will open up a space more effectively. Where Super White leans green, Ammonite reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 9.5 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Super White vs Ammonite in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Super White and Ammonite 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. Super White reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Ammonite.
Dining Room
Dining rooms often rely on warm incandescent or candlelight, which flatters warm undertones and mutes cool ones. The LRV gap is large enough that Super White will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Ammonite would.
Kitchen Cabinets
Cabinet color is always seen in context — against countertops, backsplash, and hardware — which amplifies undertone differences that might disappear on a plain wall. Super White returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

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