Super White vs Calamine
Super White is a Benjamin Moore color while Calamine comes from Farrow & Ball. Super White reads as white, while Calamine reads as pink-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 87 vs 68, Super White will read as the brighter of the two — a 20-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Super White's green character against Calamine's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 12.9, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Super White vs Calamine in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Seeing Super White and Calamine in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
Living Room
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Super White returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Dining Room
Dining room light is typically the warmest in the house, which shifts both colors toward the red end of the spectrum compared to daylight. Super White reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Calamine.
Kitchen Cabinets
On cabinetry, undertone and temperature become more pronounced against countertops and hardware. The LRV gap is large enough that Super White will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Calamine would.

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.
