The difference

Read from the numbers

Chantilly Lace is the lighter of the two at LRV 90.04, 0.5 points above Simply White at LRV 89.52. Simply 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 Simply White is the bolder pick.

How they read

In their own words

Simply White is one of Benjamin Moore's most-specified whites — bright, at LRV 90, and warm without being creamy. A touch of yellow keeps it friendly, but it is light enough that it reads as a true white in almost every room, which is why it works on walls, trim and ceilings together.

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.
