How they read
In their own wordsRepose Gray (SW 7015) is the gray for people who want gray — not greige — but don't want it cold. A quiet warm undertone keeps it from going icy, while it still reads more gray than beige. LRV sits around 58.
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.
