Chantilly Lace and Cloud White: the documented difference

Choose by the material relationship as well as the number. Chantilly Lace's very high LRV gives a clear bright-white reference rather than a guarantee of compatibility with every other white. Cloud White is a soft white whose description emphasizes balance.

The choice beside white quartz and cream cabinetry
A cream cabinet and white quartz may differ visibly already; introducing a brighter trim can emphasize that difference.
Set up both candidates with white quartz and cream cabinetry. Use equal-sized boards with the intended finishes and place them in the same orientation. Do not put one directly beside a window and leave the other in shadow. A difference that follows the position rather than the board is a lighting observation, not evidence that the formula changed.
What the comparison can—and cannot—settle
The alternative White Dove has an LRV of 83.16. The undertones and neighboring colors covers that related choice.
Compare those fixed whites first; a very light trim can make their differences more apparent. Assess Chantilly Lace and Cloud White alone as well as side by side. The unchosen board will not remain in the finished room, and a preference created only by that neighbor may not survive its removal. Before ordering samples, compare room-planning features in the paint color visualizer roundup.
