The difference

Read from the numbers

Chantilly Lace is the lighter of the two at LRV 90.04, 45.8 points above Pashmina at LRV 44.2. Pashmina leans neutral where Chantilly Lace reads cool-neutral. Pashmina is a beige, Chantilly Lace a white. For a whole room, Chantilly Lace is the safer, more forgiving choice thanks to its higher LRV, while Pashmina is the bolder pick.

How they read

In their own words

Pashmina is Benjamin Moore's most even-handed taupe: the brand describes it as 'perfectly balanced between warm and cool, light and dark'. It belongs to the Affinity collection, designed so that every colour in it harmonises with every other.

Chantilly 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.
