How they read
In their own wordsWhite 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.
Chantilly Lace (OC-65) is the brightest, crispest white in Benjamin Moore's lineup, with an LRV around 90 and an almost-neutral undertone that carries only the faintest cool edge. It reads as a clean, pure white in nearly any light.
