White Dove Benjamin Moore · OC-17 LRV 85
White Dove review: Benjamin Moore OC-17
warm white, faint cream undertone.
Benjamin Moore's most popular trim white for a reason: warm enough not to look sterile, light enough (LRV 85) to work as a whole-house color too.
White Dove in real light
Same sample board, four compass directions: this is the standardized shot list every color on this site gets, so you can compare across colors and not just across one photographer's living room. Photos for this color are still being shot; the notes below are what to expect from the color's undertone.
North light North light is cool and indirect all day, so it mutes White Dove's warmth and can make it read flatter and slightly gray.
East light Morning east light is warm and golden, so White Dove looks brightest and warmest early in the day, then cools and flattens by afternoon as the light moves west.
South light South-facing rooms get the most direct sun all day, which pushes White Dove's warmth further, sometimes past what the chip suggests.
West light Afternoon west light is warm and can run intense right at sunset, then goes flat and cool in the morning before the sun reaches that side of the house.
What to pair White Dove with
- Any warm wood floor, which its cream undertone matches easily
- Classic Gray or another cool neutral elsewhere in the house for contrast
