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.
Stonington Gray is Benjamin Moore's most balanced light grey — neither warm nor cool, with a faint green-blue base that keeps it from going purple, the failing of so many greys. At LRV 59 it is light enough for a small room and grey enough to read as a color against white trim.
