How they read
In their own wordsChantilly 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.
Pelican Gray is a light, silvery grey with a clear blue lean — cooler than the greiges that dominated the last decade, and all the better for it. At LRV 59 it is light enough for a small room and grey enough to feel deliberate. It is the grey of a slate roof after rain.
