How they read
In their own wordsPointing is one of Farrow & Ball's warm neutral whites, named for the lime pointing between old bricks. It is fresh and uncomplicated — a white with a gentle cream warmth that never tips into yellow.
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.
