Every room, each colorThe difference
Read from the numbersChantilly Lace is the lighter of the two at LRV 90.04, 6 points above Swiss Coffee at LRV 84. Swiss Coffee 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 Swiss Coffee is the bolder pick.
How they read
In their own wordsSwiss Coffee is the warm white by which other warm whites are measured. With an LRV near 84 it stays bright and open, but a slight yellow-beige undertone keeps it creamy rather than clinical — the look of fresh cream rather than fresh snow.
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.
