How they read
In their own wordsBlondie is a Portola Paints Lime Wash colour, which Portola describes as a "bright off-white with a warm creamy undertone." Lime wash is a traditional lime-based finish that dries with soft variation in colour.
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.
