Classic White vs Superwhite
Where Classic White belongs to Jotun's range, Superwhite is a Sherwin-Williams color. Classic White reads as beige-greige, while Superwhite reads as grey-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Classic White (LRV 86) reflects noticeably more light than Superwhite (LRV 0), a difference of 86 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Classic White runs warm while Superwhite is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 3.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
