How they read
In their own wordsStrand of Pearls CSP-395 is a warm off-white neutral from Benjamin Moore's Color Stories collection. Benjamin Moore lists its LRV as 72.19, so it reflects most of the light in a room while still reading as a colour rather than a stark white.
School House White No. 291 is, in Farrow & Ball's words, "pared back, timeless and familiar without the cool undertones of the more contemporary neutral groups". The brand says the soft off-white is reminiscent of the colour used in old school houses.
