Super White vs Skimming Stone
Super White (Benjamin Moore) and Skimming Stone (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Super White belongs to the white family and Skimming Stone to the beige-greige family. The 19-point LRV gap — 87 for Super White vs 68 for Skimming Stone — means Super White will open up a space more effectively. Where Super White leans green, Skimming Stone reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 10.6 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Super White vs Skimming Stone in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Seeing Super White and Skimming Stone 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
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 Skimming Stone.
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.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Super White on one side and Skimming Stone 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.
