Every room, each colorThe difference
Read from the numbersChantilly Lace is the lighter of the two at LRV 90.04, 16 points above Shoji White at LRV 74. Shoji White leans warm where Chantilly Lace reads cool-neutral. Both belong to the whites family. For a whole room, Chantilly Lace is the safer, more forgiving choice thanks to its higher LRV, while Shoji White is the bolder pick.
How they read
In their own wordsShoji White is a warm off-white with a greige base — a little grey, a little pink, no yellow. At LRV 74 it is soft rather than bright, and it has the quality of light through a paper screen: even, warm, forgiving. It is the white for people who find true whites cold and creams too sweet.
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.
