Your Guide to Using Chantilly Lace in 2024 (Plus Dupes!) Benjamin Moore 2121-70

    If you have been ripping your hair out and yelling “I just want white!!”…Perfect! Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace is exactly what you’re looking for.

    We’re done here. Pack it up and head to the Moore store! Take my word for it, this is the one!

    If you aren’t quite that desperate, here is everything you need to know about this Benjamin Moore super shade, and what other colors work just as good!

    (Or almost as good…I’m a little partial.)

    What Color is Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace (2121-70 or OC-65)

    Benjamin Moore says: “As delicate and refined as the lace it was named after, this crisp, clean white evokes images of pure silk, soft linen and simpler times.”

    In layman’s terms, Chantilly Lace is a true white paint color with just a hint of warmth, and no undertones.

    Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace Color Profile

    LRV

    The LRV of Chantilly Lace is 92.2. What is an LRV, you ask?

    The LRV of a color indicates on a scale of 0 – 100 how much light a color reflects (or doesn’t reflect). True black has an LRV of 0 and pure white has an LRV of 100.

    In the paint world, we are working in a range of about 3 – 93 because no paint color is purely black or completely white.

    Basically, 92.2 is waaay up there!

    Chantilly Lace RGB & Hex

    I don’t always include RGB and hex codes because often that info is readily available on a brand’s site.

    Benjamin Moore however, holds their cards very close to the chest. They do not share any color info beyond the LRV, so we are left to guess.

    I do not happen to have a home color match machine, so I use encycolorpedia. They tell us that Chantilly Lace is Red 245, Green 247, Blue 242.

    I trust encycolorpedia more than a couple other tools, because they seem the most consistent, particularly when it comes to getting the right LRV.

    The hex code for Chantilly Lace is #f5f7f2.

    What Are the Undertones of SW Chantilly Lace

    While I said that Chantilly Lace has no undertones (and truly it doesn’t), it is a green white.

    Chantilly Lace on a paint can lid over picture of lace

    I do find that Chantilly Lace reflects green maybe a bit more than other colors. We used it in our previous living room, which had a huge front window and a big tree outside. In that room, Chantilly Lace could sometimes look green due to the reflection from outside.

    Now any white will reflect differently based on the environment, but I do think Chantilly Lace is particularly keen on green.

    Is Chantilly Lace Warm or Cool

    Chantilly Lace is pretty neutral, but it does have a hint of warmth. It’s just enough to make you think “Oooh, that’s a nice white,” but not enough to detect anything else. It does NOT look the slightest bit creamy or yellow.

    Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace Color Palette

    I never know what to put in a white palette, because it’s white! The perfect blank canvas. So here I have put together Chantilly Lace with some other popular colors.

    Chantilly Lace color palette with other colors as profiled in the section

    (In case you weren’t sure, Chantilly Lace is the background color.)

    Complementary & Coordinating Colors

    Clearly people looove pairing Chantilly Lace with other neutral colors. Such is the way with paint. Most of us are a little commitment-phobic!

    These are all Benjamin Moore colors for once! I usually do a lot of mixing and matching.

    (I tossed in Benjamin Moore Misty Lilac because it is the closest I could find to the “official” complementary color for Chantilly Lace, which would be a soft purple.)

    Chantilly Lace with Gray Owl

    Gray Owl is a green gray. I like it as an updated neutral after years of plain grays. It looks good with Chantilly Lace, but what doesn’t?

    Gray Owl is pretty similar to Sherwin Williams Oyster Bay.

    Chantilly Lace with Revere Pewter

    Woohoo Revere Pewter. If you just started looking at paint colors for the first time, maybe you haven’t heard of Revere Pewter…but I still doubt it.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if somewhere out there, a baby’s first words were Revere Pewter. It’s that popular. It is like the Accessible Beige of Benjamin Moore.

    Chantilly Lace color palette with other colors as profiled in the section

    Chantilly Lace and Balboa Mist or Callingwood

    Balboa Mist is a neutral tan color. It’s a popular whole home color because it’s not too light and not too dark.

    Revere Pewter and Collingwood are pretty similar to Balboa Mist, and any of the three would be a good choice with Chantilly Lace. You might also like Classic Gray.

    Kendall Charcoal and Chantilly Lace

    Kendall Charcoal is a dark charcoal gray with some warmth to it.

    Wrought Iron with Chantilly Lace

    Wrought Iron is sometimes touted as a black, but it isn’t really. It’s a very dark charcoal gray. You might also like the similar color Sherwin Williams Iron Ore.

    Usually Benjamin Moore also provides palette suggestions, but they don’t for Chantilly Lace because it can really go with anything.

    What Trim Colors Go With Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace?

    First up:

    What White to Use with Chantilly Lace?

    White paint colors can be confusing when choosing trim to match.

    With Chantilly Lace there is no real point in choosing a different white for trim. It is already one of the whitest whites available, so why would you?

    This is good news for your time and your budget. No need to be careful around the trim, and you don’t need to purchase another color!

    Just because I could, I thought I would toss in this foyer where Chantilly Lace is the best supporting actor for Sherwin Williams Tricorn Black:

    Photo Credit: @gmdesigninc

    Aside from the dramatic black accent wall, you can see that Chantilly has been used for the trim and ceilings, as well as the walls.

    If you do want some contrast, get Chantilly Lace in a satin or semi-gloss. It’s amazing how different that can look!

    Try Beige or Greige Trim with Chantilly Lace

    Hear me out!

    Beige is coming back in a big way, and it’s being used in some surprising places. The white walls in this photo are NOT Chantilly Lace, but it’s a good example:

    White walls with beige trim

    The walls in the example are Sherwin Williams Pure White, and the trim is Accessible Beige.

    Here is one more with SW Agreeable Gray and white walls:

    More on both of these colors in my post: Accessible Beige vs Agreeable Gray (How to Choose!)

    Doesn’t that look sophisticated?

    You could recreate this with Collingwood, Balboa Mist, or Revere Pewter!

    If you are worried about it looking dated quickly, don’t be! Trim is actually pretty easy to repaint (and doesn’t require a lot of product).

    It’s an idea, if you didn’t want to do an all-white look.

    Can You Use Chantilly Lace for Doors, Trim, and Ceilings?

    Chantilly Lace isn’t just a great choice for trim and doors when it’s also on the wall, you can use it for trim with really any other color.

    Here it is on the trim and ceilings with Benjamin Moore Bavarian Cream on the walls.

    Here it is with Benjamin Moore Cloud White:

    Chantilly Lace is a favorite trim, ceiling, and door color of ThriveAll Projects (@thriveallprojects).

    Here they used it with Benjamin Moore Pale Oak:

    In another property they used Chantilly Lace again, but this time with Benjamin Moore White Dove.

    You get the idea!

    Chantilly Lace in Your Whole Home

    I’ve probably already answered the question, but if you’re still wondering if you can use Chantilly Lace everywhere, allow me to illustrate!

    …Actually, let’s allow Alishya from @greenpaintandlove to illustrate, because that’s exactly what she has done!

    Let’s start with some of the ho-hum areas of your house, like hallways and stairs:

    The “black” on the cabinets is actually Benjamin Moore Essex Green. (I talk a bit about it in my Dark Green Paint Colors post.)

    Love Chantilly Lace with that patterned floor!

    Here is the stairwell:

    Moving on to the rest of the house:

    Alishya’s open plan living room and dining room, is a Chantilly Lace and walnut retreat.

    Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace in Your Home Office

    I feel like these first photos really show Chantilly Lace as a clean white with a tiny bit of softness.

    Here in Alishya’s office on a snowy day, you can see it looking quite cool toned:

    This proves that it is a white white, but it doesn’t typically look this stark.

    Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace in the Kitchen

    Here is one final shot from Alishya’s house, before we move on:

    Karin (@karinwithaneye) is another lover of Chantilly Lace, and has also used it on her kitchen walls – with green cabinets no less!

    Chantilly Lace on Kitchen Cabinets

    So that was Chantilly Lace in the kitchen, but what about on the actual cabinets?

    Never fear!

    I found quite a few kitchens with white Chantilly Lace cabinets.

    This first one is at The Hawthorn House (@thehawthornhouse)

    I love the copper hardware with the true white of the Chantilly Lace cabinets!

    The wall color is Benjamin Moore Simply White at 75% strength.

    I think Chantilly Lace is a really great choice with marble, because it is such a true white that it won’t look yellow in comparison.

    These next two kitchens are by GMD Painting (@gmdesigninc).

    The first one reallyyy shows off the true white nature of Chantilly Lace:

    Chantilly Lace looks cooler when paired with mostly gray finishes:

    This next kitchen looks a little creamier, but I think it’s the lighting, because everything in this room looks quite warm:

    Chantilly Lace as an Exterior Paint Color

    It took me a while, but I finally came across Chantilly Lace on a couple of exteriors!

    These two homes were both refreshed by our friend Adrien at Word of Mouth Painting (@word_of_mouth_painting).

    The red door you see here with Chantilly Lace is Benjamin Moore Caliente, and the trim is Benjamin Moore Onyx.

    The next house is also stucco, and features a bright blue door:

    Adrien even shared the color palette over on his instagram!

    If you are wondering, “Black” is the trim color, and Kendall Charcoal comes in on the garage door:

    Photo Credit: @word_of_mouth_painting

    I’m a big fan of the freshness of Chantilly Lace on an exterior!

    I will say that it can look creamier than I expected. I’m sure this is down to how much light it reflects.

    If your house is surrounded by a lot of bright grass and sunshine, you might see a bit more cream.

    Overall, it is the truest white that I have seen on an exterior (except for maybe Farrow & Ball All White, which is about the same).

    One last exterior photo, because I love this quirky feature:

    Chantilly Lace isn’t a cold white, but it’s not overly soft outside either.

    You might like Sherwin Williams Oyster White, if you are looking for a softer white. It’s darker, but still pretty neutral:

    Comparing Chantilly Lace to Other Benjamin Moore White Paint Colors

    What’s the best way to choose the perfect white paint color?

    The same way as any other color: By comparison! And boy oh boy, do I have comparisons for you!

    Please note that Benjamin Moore has changed the LRVs for most (if not all) of their colors, and I haven’t had a chance yet to go through all of these to update them. Regardless, they do not measure LRV exactly that same as Sherwin Williams so the numbers are all relative.

    Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace vs Alabaster OC-129

    Not to be confused with Sherwin Williams Alabaster, which is also a creamy white, I am talking about the Benjamin Moore version.

    Chantilly Lace vs Benjamin Moore Alabaster. A selection of white paint swatches under a larger sample of Chantilly Lace.

    Alabaster isn’t super similar to Chantilly Lace, it is an orange based white and waaay creamy.

    The LRV of Benjamin Moore Alabaster is 87.04.

    Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace vs Ballet White OC-9

    I was surprised to find out that Ballet White is a re-name of Benjamin Moore Muskoka Trail, which at some point was also known as Plaster of Paris.

    Confusing much?

    Well the difference between Chantilly Lace and Ballet White (or whatever you want to call it) is not confusing.

    Chantilly Lace vs Ballet White. A selection of white paint swatches under a larger sample of Chantilly Lace.

    With an LRV of 73.54, Ballet White is an off-white, bordering on light beige. It is more similar to Sherwin Williams Shoji White.

    Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace vs Atrium White OC-145

    Atrium White is pretty similar to Alabaster, it even has the same LRV: 87.04.

    White paint swatches indicating Chantilly Lace vs Atrium White.

    It’s a little bit more red toned, so even further from Chantilly Lace. It is pretty similar to Sherwin Williams Snowbound.

    Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace vs Classic Gray (1548 or OC-23)

    You would not believe how many times I have asked people on Instagram what their white paint color is, and they respond “classic gray.”

    Say what?

    Benjamin Moore Classic Gray is really not gray at all (in my opinion). It’s a neutral off-white.

    Chantilly Lace vs Classic Gray. A selection of white paint swatches under a larger sample of Chantilly Lace.

    The LRV of Classic Gray is 74.78.

    Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace vs Cloud Cover (OC-25 or 855)

    Cloud Cover looks a bit greige in comparison to the Chantilly Lace swatch, but in real life it is a creamy white that can look a teeny bit yellow.

    (Particularly when paired with true white trim.)

    Chantilly Lace vs Cloud Cover. A selection of white paint swatches under a larger sample of Chantilly Lace.

    The LRV of Cloud Cover is 81.8.

    Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace vs Cloud White (967/CC-40/OC-130)

    Cloud White is a fairly true white with an LRV of 87.35, but it does have creamy yellow tones.

    It is darker than Chantilly Lace, and less neutral.

    Chantilly Lace vs Cloud White. A selection of white paint swatches under a larger sample of Chantilly Lace.

    Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace vs Cotton Balls (2145-70/OC-122)

    Cotton Balls is actually pretty similar to Chantilly Lace, but a bit more yellow and a tiiiiny bit darker.

    Chantilly Lace vs Cotton Balls. A selection of white paint swatches under a larger sample of Chantilly Lace.

    The LRV of Cotton Balls is 90.67.

    Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace vs Decoratorโ€™s White (OC-149 or CC-20)

    Decorator’s White is similar to Chantilly Lace, but darker and a little bit more gray.

    This is a color that is heavily influenced by light, decor, and other factors. It can look warm, slightly gray, or stark white depending on what else is going on. Typically though, I would say that Decorator’s White looks cool.

    Chantilly Lace vs Decorator's White. A selection of white paint swatches under a larger sample of Chantilly Lace.

    The LRV of Decorator’s White is 84.61.

    Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace vs Distant Gray (2124-70 or OC-68)

    Distant Gray is again, not really a gray! It is a green-based white just like Chantilly Lace, but even more green (meaning less yellow and therefore a little cooler).

    Chantilly Lace vs Distant Gray. A selection of white paint swatches under a larger sample of Chantilly Lace.

    The LRV of Distant Gray is 90.2.

    Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace vs White Dove (OC-17 or PM-19)

    With an LRV of approx 84, White Dove may look quite creamy, but it is still a white.

    White Dove can have a slightly peach undertone, but typically it appears as a soft white with beige undertones.

    Chantilly Lace vs White Dove. A selection of white paint swatches under a larger sample of Chantilly Lace.
    (Forgive me for mislabeling it “Dove White” instead of White Dove. Mama made a gazillion graphics for this post and she CANNOT redo it.)

    Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace vs Frostine (AF-5)

    Frostine is a little cooler and darker than Chantilly Lace, with an LRV of 86.05.

    Chantilly Lace vs Frostine. A selection of white paint swatches under a larger sample of Chantilly Lace.

    It’s still a very true white!

    Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace vs Intense White (OC-51 or 857)

    Intense White (formerly known as Sheep’s Wool) is quite a bit darker than Chantilly Lace, with an LRV of 74.52.

    Chantilly Lace vs Intense White. A selection of white paint swatches under a larger sample of Chantilly Lace.

    The name “Intense White” makes me think of a bright white, but this one is actually an off-white.

    Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace vs Linen White (912/OC-146/PM-28)

    Linen White is really nothing like Chantilly Lace. It is a pretty accurate linen color however.

    Chantilly Lace vs Linen White. A selection of white paint swatches under a larger sample of Chantilly Lace.

    Linen White has an LRV of 80.94, so it is an off white. This color is super saturated and not gray at all.

    Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace vs Oxford White (CC-30 or 869)

    Looking at the swatches side-by-side, Oxford White is pretty similar to Chantilly Lace.

    Chantilly Lace vs Oxford White. A selection of white paint swatches under a larger sample of Chantilly Lace.

    On paper, Oxford White is a little bit warmer and darker than Chantilly Lace.

    It’s a hard color to describe. It should be like a slightly darker version of Chantilly Lace, but it can look quite cool.

    The LRV of Oxford White is 86.69. (Still a pretty bright white.)

    Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace vs Pale Oak

    Pale Oak is not a white at all, it’s like a pale greige.

    Chantilly Lace vs Pale Oak. A selection of white paint swatches under a larger sample of Chantilly Lace.

    Formerly known as “Athena,” Pale Oak has an LRV of 69.89.

    Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace vs Paper White

    Paper White is in a similar color family to Chantilly Lace, but it is darker and more gray.

    Chantilly Lace vs Paper White. A selection of white paint swatches under a larger sample of Chantilly Lace.

    The LRV of Paper White is 75.89, so I would definitely describe it as a very light gray or an off-white, but not a white.

    Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace vs Simply White (OC-117 or 2143-70)

    Simply White has an LRV of 91.7, so I was expecting it to be a very true white. As it turns out, Simple White is very light, but also very creamy, with soft yellow undertones.

    Chantilly Lace vs Simply White. A selection of white paint swatches under a larger sample of Chantilly Lace.

    Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace vs Soft Chamois

    Benjamin Moore Soft Chamois (not to be confused with the Behr color of the same name) is far more similar to Ballet White than Chantilly Lace.

    Chantilly Lace vs Soft Chamois. A selection of white paint swatches under a larger sample of Chantilly Lace.

    It is an off-white with an LRV of 78.94. Sherwin Williams Natural Choice is a similar color.

    Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace vs Steam (AF-15)

    Steam is another creamy white from Benjamin Moore that is more yellow. It has an LRV of 84.2, so it is still a white and not an off white.

    Chantilly Lace vs Steam. A selection of white paint swatches under a larger sample of Chantilly Lace.

    Steam is quite similar to White Dove, and not that close to Chantilly Lace.

    Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace vs Super White (PM-1 or OC-152)

    Super White…I was going to take a wild guess based on Intense White and Simply White, and say that it isn’t “super” white, but I was wrong!

    Super White is pretty white! Sure it has an LRV of 89.09, so it isn’t the brightest white, but it is a clean true white.

    Chantilly Lace vs Super White. A selection of white paint swatches under a larger sample of Chantilly Lace.

    Compared to Chantilly Lace, Super White is a bit darker and more gray, so it tends to look slightly cooler.

    I wonder if this color has been discontinued?

    You can’t search it on Benjamin Moore’s site anymore. You can Google it and then it pops up from Benjamin Moore, but obviously it has been de-listed from their search tool.

    I have not done a side-by-side comparison, but Super White reminds me a lot of Behr Diamonds Therapy.

    Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace vs Swiss Coffee (OC-45)

    Swiss Coffee is one of Benjamin Moore’s all-time most popular whites. It isn’t much like Chantilly Lace, it is a creamy white with an LRV of 83.93.

    Chantilly Lace vs Swiss Coffee. A selection of white paint swatches under a larger sample of Chantilly Lace.

    Swiss Coffee is not my personal favorite, because when it looks creamy it tends to look a bit yellow rather than orange/beige, but plenty of people love it!

    In fact, there are many iterations of Swiss Coffee from all different brands.

    If you are looking for a warm white like Swiss Coffee, you might like Valspar Cream in my Coffee.

    Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace vs Vanilla Milkshake (2141-70 or OC-59)

    Vanilla Milkshake is a bit warmer and darker than Chantilly Lace.

    Its LRV is 83.19.

    Chantilly Lace vs Vanilla Milkshake. A selection of white paint swatches under a larger sample of Chantilly Lace.

    Vanilla Milkshake is much closer to the color Steam, than it is to Chantilly Lace.

    Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace vs Wedding Veil (2125-70)

    Wedding Veil is darker and more gray than Chantilly Lace.

    I’m not super qualified to tell you how Wedding Veil looks in real life, because I was only able to find a handful of so-so photos of it.

    Chantilly Lace vs Wedding Veil. A selection of white paint swatches under a larger sample of Chantilly Lace.

    From what I’ve seen, it does read a bit gray compared to a true white, but you would want to see it for yourself.

    The LRV of Wedding Veil is 85.95.

    Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace vs White (OC-151 or PM-2)

    Benjamin Moore “White” is a true white like Chantilly Lace. It has an LRV of 83.56, so it’s a bit darker than Chantilly Lace, and it is slightly more gray. This makes it appear cooler.

    Chantilly Lace vs White. A selection of white paint swatches under a larger sample of Chantilly Lace.

    Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace vs White Cloud (967 or 2159-70 or CC-40)

    Conversations around the Benjamin Moore design studio: “Sure we already have cloud white, but what about white cloud?”

    Okay, alleged conversations.

    If you’re confused, Cloud White is the ultra popular creamy white. White Cloud (this color), is an even creamier, almost peachy, white.

    Chantilly Lace vs White Cloud. A selection of white paint swatches under a larger sample of Chantilly Lace.

    The LRV of White Cloud is 85.91.

    Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace vs White Diamond (2121-60 or OC-61)

    Benjamin Moore’s White Diamond is similar to White, Wedding Veil, and the other gray whites we have looked at.

    Chantilly Lace vs White Diamond. A selection of white paint swatches under a larger sample of Chantilly Lace.

    It is darker than Chantilly Lace, and not really creamy at all. That being said, it is a pretty true white, but a cool white.

    I think White Diamond reads brighter than it’s LRV of 84.75.

    Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace vs White Heron (OC-57)

    White Heron is darker and ever so slightly creamier than Chantilly Lace.

    Chantilly Lace vs White Heron. A selection of white paint swatches under a larger sample of Chantilly Lace.

    From what I’ve see, White Heron also appears as a very true white. Benjamin Moore does say that it has a cool cast.

    The LRV of White Heron is 86.69.

    Chantilly Lace Compared to Sherwin Williams Whites

    Okay, I think that should cover all of the FAQ’s about Chantilly Lace vs Benjamin Moore whites, but of course we still have Sherwin Williams!

    Something to know about Sherwin Williams: They make a lot of white paint colors. Like a LOT, a lot.

    What they don’t make, is a lot of bright clean whites. Sherwin Williams does creamy in every tiny variation under the sun, but white white? Not so much.

    Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace vs Sherwin Williams Alabaster

    Alabaster is one of Sherwin Williams most popular whites, but it is nothing like Chantilly Lace.

    Chantilly Lace vs SW Alabaster. A selection of white paint swatches under a larger sample of Chantilly Lace.

    Alabaster is a creamy white with an LRV of 82.

    I have talked about Alabaster so much, that you can browse through a whole page about it.

    Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace vs Dover White

    Dover White is technically white, but it is even creamier than Alabaster so I class this one as an off-white. Again, nothing like the true white of Chantilly Lace.

    Chantilly Lace vs Dover White. A selection of white paint swatches under a larger sample of Chantilly Lace.

    The LRV of Dover White is 83.

    I also have a post about Dover White on kitchen cabinets.

    Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace vs Sherwin Williams Extra White

    Sherwin Williams Extra White is similar to Chantilly Lace. It is a little darker, a little warmer, and a little more gray. Typically Extra White does look cool and not at all soft like Chantilly Lace.

    Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace vs Greek Villa

    Greek Villa is much creamier than Chantilly Lace, but it can still look white.

    While Greek Villa does tend to look more white than you would think from the swatch, it is definitely still creamy.

    The LRV of Greek Villa is 84.

    Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace vs Sherwin Williams High Reflective White

    High Reflective White is Sherwin Williams “whitest white.” It has an LRV of 93, so it is about as bright white as they come!

    Chantilly Lace vs High Reflective White. A selection of white paint swatches under a larger sample of Chantilly Lace.

    High Reflective White is a popular trim color, but you don’t see it on the wall all that often, so I don’t feel like I can say for sure how it looks compared to Chantilly Lace.

    From a technical perspective, High Reflective White is in the greeny-yellow family compared to Chantilly Lace’s green. (Meaning it is a bit warmer, but since it’s sooo bright, I don’t think it’s visible.)

    It’s worth trying out if you are looking for a clean true white.

    Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace vs Origami White

    Sherwin Williams Origami White is actually an off-white paint color with an LRV of 76.

    I do find that Origami White reads lighter because it is so neutral, but still, there is nothing about it that is similar to Chantilly Lace.

    Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace vs Sherwin Williams Pure White

    Pure White is another super popular Sherwin Williams white. It is darker, creamier, and more gray than Chantilly Lace.

    Pure White doesn’t really look “pure white” on paper, but I will say that on the wall it does look like a true white unless it’s beside a bright cool white, and then it looks a tiny bit creamy.

    Pure White has a softness without looking overtly creamy, so in that way it is similar to Chantilly Lace.

    Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace vs Sherwin Williams Snowbound

    Sherwin Williams Snowbound is a red-based white, so it does look a little pink directly over Chantilly Lace.

    In real life Snowbound is my second favorite “just white” (next to Chantilly Lace) because it does look like a true white with just a hint of warmth.

    The LRV of Snowbound is 83, which is well off of Chantilly Lace’s 92.2.

    Sherwin Williams Chantilly Lace Equivalent

    High Reflective White is the closest Sherwin Williams color match to Benjamin Moore’s Chantilly Lace.

    Chantilly Lace vs High Reflective White Sherwin Williams

    Like I said, Sherwin Williams has a TON of whites, but creamy whites are what they do best.

    The whites I just covered are their most popular, but when I dug through all of their colors looking for a more close dupes, there just weren’t any to be had.

    If you really want to go with Sherwin Williams and you want a true white, you could also try Snowbound or Pure White. Neither of them are especially close matches to Chantilly Lace, but they read like slightly warm true whites on the wall.

    Valspar Equivalent to Chantilly Lace – Ultra White (7006-24)

    There is really only one Valspar white that is light and bright enough to compete with Chantilly Lace: Ultra White.

    Luckily if you are shopping at Lowe’s, Ultra White is a green white, and a near perfect double for Chantilly Lace.

    The LRV of Ultra White is 93.6.

    I do think that Ultra White lacks a little bit of the warmth that Chantilly Lace has.

    Chantilly Lace vs Behr Whites

    If Sherwin Williams is the King or Queen of creamy whites, then Behr is the ruler of the white whites.

    They have several true white shades, and to find your favorite, you will really be splitting hairs!

    Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace vs Behr Bit of Sugar (PR-W14)

    Bit of Sugar by Behr is more yellow than Chantilly Lace from a technical perspective, but in real life it is a very clean white too.

    The LRV of Bit of Sugar is 89.

    Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace vs Behr Polar Bear

    Please take a moment to appreciate how hard it was not to write “Polar Behr” in this section.

    Polar Bear is light and bright like Chantilly Lace, with an LRV of 90.

    It is a “yellow” white, but it looks like a true white with just a whiff of warmth on the wall. It is technically still darker and warmer than Chantilly Lace.

    Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace vs Behr Ultra Pure White

    Behr’s Ultra Pure White is often considered the whitest white on the market because it has an LRV of 94.

    It’s not a green based white like Chantilly Lace, but the color looks pretty darn close!

    Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace vs Behr Whisper White

    Whisper White is almost identical to Polar Bear, but if we’re getting picky, it is a little closer to green.

    The LRV of Whisper White is 89.

    Behr Chantilly Lace Dupe

    Any of these Behr colors could work if you are looking for a true white with a hint of warmth. Choose Ultra Pure White for the brightest white and closest match to Chantilly Lace.

    If you would rather go a little cozier, try Bit of Sugar. It is not quite as bright as Ultra Pure White or Chantilly Lace, but still has no obvious undertone.
