Read from the numbersChantilly Lace is the lighter of the two at LRV 90.04, 6.9 points above White Dove at LRV 83.16. Chantilly Lace leans cool-neutral where White Dove reads warm. Both belong to the whites family. For a whole room, Chantilly Lace is the safer, more forgiving choice thanks to its higher LRV, while White Dove is the bolder pick.
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.
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.
