More about White Dove
White Dove (OC-17) is hex #EFEEE5 with an LRV of 83.2 (Benjamin Moore publishes 83.16), and it sits in our white family. Its nearest Sherwin-Williams color is Cold Foam (SW 9504), a nearly identical digital match. Behr Harmonious White (DC-013), PPG Gypsum (1006-1), Valspar Paramount White (7006-22) and Dunn-Edwards Almond Milk (DEHW01) are nearly identical as well. Sherwin-Williams Alabaster (SW 7008) is the swap people ask about most, and it also rates nearly identical: White Dove is slightly lighter (LRV 83.2 against 82.2) and a touch less yellow (LAB b* 4.5 against 5.2). Sample both side by side before treating one as a replacement for the other. Every match here compares digital values, not wet paint.
White Dove is one of Benjamin Moore's best-selling colors, a soft white at LRV 83 that has become the default for trim, cabinets, and whole rooms. What makes it the safe pick is restraint: Benjamin Moore calls it a softly shaded white, and it leans only slightly warm, so it feels inviting without reading yellow and flatters both warm and cool palettes.
It's especially loved on kitchen cabinets, where a brighter white can look cold and a creamier one can look dated. The one thing to watch: against a pure bright white it will look noticeably soft, so commit to the warm-white direction throughout rather than mixing. In north light it reads its cleanest; in warm light it gently glows.
