In real rooms
Every room, each colorThe difference
Read from the numbersWhite Dove is the lighter of the two at LRV 83.16, 7.9 points above Silver Satin at LRV 75.3. Both read warm. Both belong to the whites family. For a whole room, White Dove is the safer, more forgiving choice thanks to its higher LRV, while Silver Satin is the bolder pick.
How they read
In their own wordsWhite 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.
Silver Satin is the quiet professional of the off-white world — soft, low-chroma, and just warm enough to never read as stark. In a north-facing room it settles into a calm greige; in afternoon sun it lifts to a clean, milky white without ever turning yellow.
