Every room, each colorThe difference
Read from the numbersChantilly Lace is the lighter of the two at LRV 90.04, 1 point above Wimborne White at LRV 89. Wimborne 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 Wimborne White is the bolder pick.
How they read
In their own wordsWimborne White is Farrow & Ball's everyday warm white — named for the Dorset town where the company was founded — with just enough yellow to keep it soft and none of the chalkiness of a true white. At LRV 89 it is bright and clean, and it is the white most often used for ceilings, trim and whole rooms in English houses.
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.
