Read from the numbersChantilly Lace is the lighter of the two at LRV 90.04, 7.8 points above Alabaster at LRV 82.215. Alabaster leans warm where Chantilly Lace reads cool-neutral.

How they read
In their own wordsAlabaster (SW 7008) is a soft, creamy white with a faint beige-yellow undertone — warm enough to feel inviting, clean enough to still read as white. At LRV 82 it brightens a room without the starkness of a true white.
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.
