Read from the numbersDune White is the lighter of the two at LRV 82, 42 points above Monet at LRV 39.98. Both read warm. Dune White is a whites, Monet a pinks. For a whole room, Dune White is the safer, more forgiving choice thanks to its higher LRV, while Monet is the bolder pick.
How they read
In their own wordsDune White is a versatile off-white with hushed cream undertones and just enough beige-grey to keep it balanced — neither too yellow nor too cool. With an LRV near 82 it keeps a room bright and open, which is why it works so well as a whole-wall color behind bolder furniture and art.
Monet is a dusty, mauve-leaning pink with a beige base — a rose that has softened into something closer to lilac. At LRV 40 it is a real mid-tone, dark enough to feel enveloping in a small room and light enough to keep a powder room from going gloomy.
