I would stick with one line of paint.

I have read that Chantilly Lace is similar to F&B's All White. I am curious as to whether there are opinions as to how accurate this is.

It's not accurate.

Benjamin Moore really doesn't have a comparable color to All White. We can look at the color data and see exactly where and how they're different. We can actually calculate how different they are and rate that difference on a scale. The scale is called Delta E. Anything below 1.0 is not terrible. Above 1.0 and it's very obvious that the colors are different.

The Delta E between All White and Chantilly Lace is about 2.0 - which means they're very different.

Plus, coverage is better in a SW or Behr product than F&B. F&B whites are infamous for poor coverage so before you choose a F&B white, it's a good idea to get samples and do some homework before buying gallons.

HRW is not available in all SW product, just FYI. When choosing a clean, bright white at Sherwin Williams you need to pick your PRODUCT first and then your color.

Will the Chantilly White trim work with these colors or will it be too stark a contrast?

Not stark in my opinion. All of the wall colors will make Chantilly Lace look fresh, clean and crisp.

I'd use it with Railings too. Because what's the point of using a clean, crisp fresh white if you don't use it to create a bold pop of contrast somewhere in the house - and the powder room is perfect place to do it.

Simplify and edit. Keep it simple and do Chantilly Lace everywhere on trim, doors, etc.

It would be too expensive to do all of the trim in Farrow and Ball All White. My plan is to use Farrow and Ball in the older, plastered/textured walls of the house and use Benjamin Moore whites in the bedrooms and kitchen addition. I was planning on Decorator's White in those rooms, but am also looking at Simply White. Mainly because Decorator's White is reading as too cool in the kitchen next to the warm(er) light gray cabinets.

We used Chantilly Lace at our previous home and it is a bright, clean white -- yet it has a touch of pink in it. If you have warm lights and warm colored wood floors, it will pick up even more of the pink. If you put the Chantilly Lace chip under a warm light you'll see what I mean. All the managers at Benjamin Moore stores that I know agree that Chantilly Lace has pink. Today I had BM provide a match to Farrow & Ball All White. It reminds me of Chantilly Lace without the pink. Here is what they used: 127 - 1X (Pint) with 3.8750 of W1 added. This mixture matches an untinted white lacquer that we are using for kitchen cabinets, and is what we will use for trim in our new home. At our previous home we used Chantilly Lace with BM White Down on the walls. We loved the combination. Since I don't want to run the risk of pink showing up, we are going to use this mix that is intended to match F&B's All White.

In order for Chantilly Lace to look even slightly pinkish, it would take a perfect storm of lighting and context. So, absolutely can happen but I wouldn't say it was common.

Because there is absolutely nothing about Chantilly Lace that is inherently pink.

I don't want anybody coming across this thread to be confused about the inherent attributes of Chantilly Lace and not consider it because they're afraid it's pink.

Chantilly Lace belongs to the green-yellow hue family which means in the average, balanced quality of light it's going to look like a clean, crisp white.

Thank you so much for clarifying that Lori. You are very kind to share your expertise with us.

I am still trying to decide paint colors and this input has been so helpful! I picked up Sherwin William's Pure White as a possible trim color and it does not look right next to Strong White or Cornforth White. I will try Sherwin Williams High Reflective White. Lori, do you feel High Reflective White or Chantilly Lace would be a better match for Strong White and Cornforth White? I am really trying to get the closest match to F & B All White without using F & B on the trim due to expense and coverage issues. My J.C. Licht store will not color match to F & B, so that is not an option. One additional question, I picked up Benjamin Moore's Harwood White at J.C. Licht yesterday. I am looking for a brighter white that will complement Strong White and Cornforth White to use in the kitchen and four bedrooms. We cannot afford to paint the entire house in Farrow and Ball colors. I had initially selected Decorator's White but I am afraid it will read too blue. Harwood White looks almost like a lighter version of Strong White on my walls, which is what I am going for. Would love input on this color from anyone who has used it. I really do not want any of the walls to look yellow or green and we have golden oak floors we will eventually stain darker, but are stuck with for now.

Correction -- Harwood Putty from The Williamsburg line.

Painters come tomorrow and after a lot of agonizing, I am going back to my tried and true, Super White, for trim. At the moment, leaning towards Decorators White again for about 1/2 the house (kitchen, kids rooms and hallways) because it just looks better on my walls than Harwood Putty. If anyone wants to weigh in with some last minute advice as to how these colors will mesh with the Farrow and Ball colors I am putting in our living room, foyer, dining room, sunporch and master BR (Strong White in all but the living room, which will be Cornforth White), I would welcome it! To me, Harwood Putty looked like a better "match" for a color scheme with those F&B colors, but it is reading too yellow on my walls. I am hoping Decorators White will not scream blue next to Strong White and Cornforth White.

Benjamin Moore Capitol White is a beautiful white that goes well with both historic colors and modern colors.

Thank you!

Went with Decorators White walls with Chantilly Lace trim. Only once bedroom done so far and not sure I am loving it. Lori, if you have time to weigh in, do these colors work together? I thought I was safe because they are in the same hue family. I maybe should have just done the walls Chantilly Lace as well. Paint is still wet so will take another look in a bit, but before I do the other bedrooms would love input!

Lori, if you have time to weigh in, do these colors work together?

No. They're too similar.

Specifically in terms of Chroma.

But it does look kind of pretty in that bedroom.

So, the light was on your side in there.

Thank you, Lori. I decided to repaint the walls Chantilly Lace. I want to keep the palette in the house simple. Fingers crossed this works.

You have such a nice space to work with, I'm sure it will be lovely.

Pictures of your finished spaces would be great! So glad to hear that color still makes your heart jump.

So much indecision could be avoided if everyone did what you did--paint all the trim, walls, and ceiling in the same white. Glad it worked out for you--and thanks for spreading the word!

I would love to see how the F&B colors look in your rooms too!

I'm on a hunt to find cabinet, trim, and wall colors for my kitchen and came across this thread. I found the perfect blue/green color for my island, F&B Stone Blue. I looked at BM and SW and couldn't really see a match to that color. As for the rest; ceiling, perimeter cabs, walls, and trim I'm searching for cool tones in my south facing kitchen. Very helpful to know that F&B whites do not cover well. Less anxiety for both me and my cabinet guy.

Hi Kerry, would you mind sharing photos of your finished spaces? I'm currently struggling with whole house paint. I used decorator white in my old house and loved it, but it was an open concept ranch and was flooded with natural light from 6am-6pm. White dove was recommended to me and I love it in my bedroom, but it looks dirty everywhere I paint a sample square. I'm leaning towards chantilly lace for the whole house, walls and trim. Would love to see a real person's photo of it without a blown-out filter.

Hi all, I'm painting the interior main areas of home (walls& ceilings flat, trim/doors satin) the same color. I'm considering Farrow and Ball All White matched by SW. The kitchen cabinets are Chantilly Lace and I don't want home to look sterile. I want a warm white but not yellow. Do these colors work together? Floors are creamy/taupe porcelain tile, stairs natural white oak. Any feedback/ideas from pros or others much appreciated!

Assuming the colour match is pretty accurate, there isn’t enough difference in Chroma (colourfulness) to make these work well together. Surprisingly, Chantilly Lace will likely come off a little grubby or dirty.

I think they will probably just give you SW High Reflective White if it’s available in the sheen you are after, as it’s the closest thing they have to Farrow &Ball All White.

So pull a chip of that, next to Chantilly Lace.

If you are after very little contrast between walls and cabinetry I would just choose one but in different sheens.

They are both very low Chroma, high Value neutrals. I wouldn’t describe either of them as feeling particularly warm though.

Thanks for input Marylee. The kitchen is already installed and cabinets are painted the Chantilly Lace. I put up the All White sample from F&B-- you're right! -- the Chantilly looks drab next to it. Any thoughts about F&B Wimborne White? It's up on wall and pretty, just can't tell if it leans too yellow, hoping it's neutral enough and warmer. The woodwork would be same color as well as the ceiling. Thank you!

Wimborne White has enough difference in Chroma with Chantilly Lace.

Wimborne White is lighter and more colourful than Chantilly Lace.

Chantilly Lace is darker and more neutral than Wimborne White.

It may help you to decide if you wish the walls to be the lightest element or the cabinets?

If the cabinets, then you need something darker than Chantilly Lace which Wimborne isn’t.

Thinking of chantilly lace for all of my walls and possibly silver satin or also chantilly lace for trim. I’m worried it may be too stark and or cold. I lobe the idea of an all white palette. Also white washing my hardwood floors however don’t want it to feel institutional or too sterile. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I also have considered All White Farrow and Ball. Please help!

Hi Jennifer! I posted above and was going through this same “which white?” Dance. Every white looks like a color next to Chantilly lace. What made my decision was I had unprimed crown molding up. I put the Chantilly lace sample against it, and it was the same. It looked like primer. Way too white, like sterile neon white. I ended up painting my entire house, walls and trim, white dove cut by 25%. White dove that looked vaguely yellow NEXT TO Chantilly lace. Well wouldn’t you know, my house looks white. Very white. Looks gorgeous. I’ll post pics. White dove lightened by 25% try it!

Have a look at the Colorographies at The Land of Color. It allows you to compare lots of popular white colours by their measured colour attributes.

If you choose Chantilly Lace walls, just be mindful that Silver Satin trim would be darker and more colourful than the walls. Nothing wrong with that - just a definite design choice.
