How it reads
White Dove (OC-17) is Benjamin Moore's most-specified soft white — warm, but with a subtle gray-green base that keeps it from going yellow. At LRV 83 it's bright enough to act as a white on walls and trim, yet soft enough to never feel stark.
That gray-green undertone is its secret: under most light it stays a clean, warm white rather than tipping cream. It's the rare white that works on walls, trim, cabinets, and ceilings in the same room.

Questions
Does White Dove look yellow?
Rarely. Its gray-green base counters the yellow shift that affects most warm whites, so it usually stays a clean, soft white. Under very warm bulbs it can pick up a faint cream note.
White Dove vs Chantilly Lace?
White Dove is warmer and softer (LRV 83); Chantilly Lace is a brighter, crisper near-true white (LRV 90). White Dove for cozy, Chantilly Lace for crisp.
