Chantilly Lace BM OC-65

Chantilly Lace LRV and undertone

Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace (OC-65) has an LRV of 90.04, placing it near the bright end of the white color range. Light reflectance value measures how much visible light a paint color reflects, on a scale from 0 to 100. At this level, Chantilly Lace can help rooms appear brighter, although natural light, artificial lighting, and surrounding finishes also affect the result. Its light depth makes it suitable for walls, ceilings, and trim where a high-reflectance white is useful.

Its color family is white, with a subtle green undertone calculated from its Lab color values. An undertone is the underlying color that becomes more noticeable beside other whites or under particular lighting conditions. North-facing rooms often emphasize cooler or greenish shifts, while stronger southern light can change how those undertones appear. Test a sample beside flooring, cabinetry, and trim before committing to the full room.

Chantilly Lace in other brands

Several other brands offer close measured matches. Behr Ultra Pure White (UPW) has an LRV of 94.0 and a ΔE of 0.9. A ΔE below 1 indicates a near-identical color match. Sherwin-Williams High Reflective White (SW 7757) has an LRV of 93.0 and a ΔE of 1.0, making it a very close alternative. PPG Delicate White (PPG1001-1) has an LRV of 88.0 and a ΔE of 1.1. Valspar Ultra White (7006-24) also has a ΔE of 1.1, although its LRV of 93.59 indicates greater light reflectance.

Behr Whipped Cream (DC-001) measures ΔE 1.4, while Sherwin-Williams Extra White (SW 7006) measures ΔE 1.5. Both are very close matches by this metric. Remember that ΔE measures color difference, not differences in formulation, finish, or application behavior.

Lighter and darker Benjamin Moore alternatives

For a slightly darker option, Benjamin Moore Super White (OC-152) has an LRV of 87.36, followed by Benjamin Moore White Heron (OC-57) at 86.69. Both reflect less light than Chantilly Lace. Benjamin Moore Simply White (OC-117), with an LRV of 89.52, is also marginally darker. These options can help when a room needs a small reduction in reflectance rather than a major color change.

Benjamin Moore Decorator’s White (OC-149) has an LRV of 82.68, providing a more substantial step down. Lower-LRV whites can distinguish walls from brighter ceilings or trim. Compare dried samples under morning and evening lighting, and consider sheen because higher-gloss finishes can reflect light differently from matte surfaces.
