Product Information

For the trim in our bathroom, I used Benjamin Moore Advance in Satin (semi-gloss is also a great choice for trim – it’s just personal preference depending on how much sheen you like). While all white paint colors (and all paint colors in general) have undertones, Chantilly Lace has very minimal hints of color in it. Choosing the right white paint color can leave your head swimming and induce a lot of doubt, and I find that this helps readers determine which paint color is the right white paint color for them.

Featured Neutral Shades

I love Pure White on trim, cabinets and exteriors, and also find that it does well on walls when you want a stark white look that doesn’t lean blue at all. Decorator’s White is a long-time favorite of many for cabinets and trim but is a great option for walls too. When looking at Chantilly Lace vs. Decorator’s White (OC-149) you can probably see what the biggest difference is – Decorator’s White isn’t as bright of a white. Also, when they’re side by side you can see that Decorator’s White has a touch more of a gray appearance. Oxford White vs. Chantilly Lace 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:

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. Here, I will compare Chantilly Lace to some of the other most popular white paint colors by Benjamin Moore and Sherwin Williams. Easy to Clean: The washable nature of this paint makes it easy to clean with a damp cloth or sponge. This makes it a practical choice for busy households with children or pets.

Off-White Paint Colours with Blue Undertones

Chantilly Lace is also a good white for exteriors if you’re trying to match whites with exterior trim. Oftentimes, a darker white can look dingy on siding when painted next to white windows or other white features. Chantilly Lace tends to not have this problem. 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. When you look at Chantilly Lace in comparison to other popular whites, you will see that it does not look yellow, it does not look gray and it does not look beige. Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace is one of the best white paint colors out there! I share why I love it and how it compares to other popular whites!
