How they read
In their own wordsLamp Room Gray is what Farrow & Ball calls its 'most traditional blue grey' — a mid-light grey with a soft blue cast that feels older and more settled than a modern cool grey. It takes its name from the rooms where oil lamps were once trimmed and stored.
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.
