Before we get into the actual color, let me say that I am discussing Sherwin Williams’ Pure White paint color, NOT Benjamin Moore’s Pure White paint color. They both have a “Pure White” but Sherwin William’s Pure White is much more popular than Benjamin Moore’s (and is also a better comparison for Chantilly Lace). If you’re considering painting your walls, trim, cabinets or exterior white, continue reading for all the information you need to know on Chantilly Lace. Chantilly Lace is such a clean white that it plays nicely with most other colors. It looks good with deep reds, smoky blues, blue-greens, grays, oranges and browns.

Last, Chantilly Lace can work on walls, but often, a white with a bit more color may work better. Final Thoughts on Benjamin Moore’s Chantilly Lace I find that comparing Chantilly Lace to other whites, such as Simply White and Super White yield answers as well.Benjamin Moore describes Chantilly Lace as “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.” While totally corny, it’s actually a pretty spot-on description! Here’s another view of it on the other side of our bathroom – as is typical with any paint color it looks a little different depending on how much light it gets: Chantilly Lace is a very clean white paint color. As a color, it is bright, crisp and pure looking.

Oxford White (CC-30) is a white paint color you don’t hear as much about as the other whites in this post but it’s another beautiful white that’s similar to Chantilly Lace. Comparing Oxford White vs. Chantilly Lace, these two colors are super close in hue (i.e. how yellow or blue they are) but Chantilly Lace is the brighter white of the two. For the walls and ceiling of our bathroom I used Aura Bath & Spa (which is made for spaces that get more moisture) in matte. Their matte paint has just a touch more sheen than flat but its more scrubbable. A lot of people use eggshell on bathroom walls which is a great choice too. I personally prefer matte because I’m just not a fan of much shine plus if you ever need to touch your paint up down the road, it’s more likely to blend in if you’re using a matte or flat paint. The last reason I chose matte is that I wanted to use the same sheen on both the walls and ceiling so it’s one enveloping space and I wouldn’t recommend using paint with sheen on drywall ceiling because it shows too many imperfections. While there are TONS of other white paint options, these white paints are the ones that are most frequently used in similar places, such as on trim, on cabinets, as a bright white exterior or on walls. Chantilly Lace is a bright white paint color by Benjamin Moore. It is a perennial favorite paint color for trim, cabinets, walls and exteriors. In addition, Chantilly Lace is probably Benjamin Moore’s most popular white paint color. Here, I will compare Chantilly Lace to some of the other most popular white paint colors by Benjamin Moore and Sherwin Williams.Chantilly Lace is both OC-65 and 2121-70. This is because Benjamin Moore includes Chantilly Lace in both their Color Preview Collection, and their Off-White Collection. While Chantilly Lace has a touch of blue, Simply White a touch of yellow. It’s just enough yellow to give it a warm feel but not so much that it looks too creamy. With that touch of warmth, even large rooms painted in Simply White don’t have a sterile feel like many fear their room will have with a brighter white. Comparing Chantilly Lace to Simply White, they are similar in that they are both in the lighter range of white paint colors and they both have a crisp, clean look. The main difference is that Simply White is a warmer color than Chantilly Lace due to the touch of yellow.
