Super White reads as crisp and architectural — strong in modern spaces, with natural fixed elements (chrome, stone, glass), or as a quiet anchor. At LRV 88 it reflects plenty of light, which makes it well-suited for north-facing rooms and smaller spaces that benefit from extra brightness. Skip it if you want a cozy, warm room — cool neutrals can feel sterile under warm bulbs or in low light.

Super White Technical Profile
What color is Benjamin Moore Super White (PM-1)? It's a very light cool white — hex #F1F2EE, LRV 88. The closest cross-brand equivalent to Super White is PPG Delicate White — a near-identical match on the wall, with Vista Paint Mercury and Sherwin-Williams Extra White also close. With a Light Reflectance Value of 88, Super White reflects a generous amount of light, making it well-suited for north-facing rooms or smaller spaces that benefit from extra brightness. As a cool neutral, Super White pairs with cool whites for trim, gray-toned or rift-cut oak floors, and brushed nickel or polished chrome hardware. Black accents and natural greenery add contrast. As a lighter neutral, Super White works as a whole-room or trim color and keeps adjoining colors reading clean — pair it with crisper whites a step brighter than itself so the trim still separates. Cool neutrals hold their crisp quality under 4000K+ daylight bulbs. Under 2700K warm light they soften considerably — particularly true for any blue or green undertone. Lighter neutrals reveal their undertone most, so Super White can swing warmer under 2700K bulbs and cleaner under 4000K daylight — sample it against your trim before committing.
