Why people switch between Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams
Simply White is a warm white bright enough to pass for pure white in strong light, and it was a Colour of the Year, so it appears in a lot of older specifications. It is frequently confused with White Dove, which is warmer and slightly deeper.
Most people comparing Benjamin Moore to Sherwin-Williams are not shopping for a new colour. They have already chosen one, and then hit a price difference or a painter who buys from a single supplier. The question is what goes on the wall instead.
