Finding a Behr Equivalent for Chantilly Lace

This is one of the most common cross-brand paint matching searches, whether you are working with a painter who prefers Behr, your local store does not carry Benjamin Moore, or you simply want to compare prices across brands before committing.
Chantilly Lace (OC-65) is a very light white with true neutral undertones. About as close to a true, pure white as Benjamin Moore offers. No visible yellow, pink, or blue. Clean and crisp. To find a good Behr match, we need a color that captures not just the right depth (LRV 92.2) but also that specific undertone character. That is where Delta E color science comes in.
We calculated the perceptual color distance between Chantilly Lace and every Behr color using the CIE2000 Delta E formula, which measures how different two colors look to the human eye. A Delta E under 2 means most people cannot tell the colors apart. Between 2 and 4, you might notice a difference in certain lighting. Above 5, the difference is clearly visible side by side.
The good news: there is a strong Behr match for Chantilly Lace. Ultra Pure White (PPU18-06) comes in with a Delta E of 2.2, which puts it in the "excellent match" range. Very close. Ultra Pure White is Behr's cleanest white and matches Chantilly Lace well.

No, they are not identical. Chantilly Lace is a Benjamin Moore color with true neutral undertones and an LRV of 92.2. Ultra Pure White is a Behr color with true neutral undertones and an LRV of 94. With a Delta E of 2.2, the difference is subtle and mainly visible in direct side-by-side comparison. Paint formulations differ between brands, so even colors with similar values can look slightly different due to pigment concentration, binders, and finish.
With a Delta E of 2.2, these colors are close enough to use in separate rooms of the same house without a jarring difference. However, avoid painting them on adjacent walls in the same room, as even subtle differences become apparent at a hard edge where two paints meet. For the smoothest result, use one brand consistently within each connected space and reserve the other brand for rooms that are visually separated.
There are several practical reasons to look for a Behr equivalent. Price differences between brands can be significant on large projects. Availability matters if your nearest paint store or home center specializes in Behr. Some painters have strong preferences for one brand's formula based on coverage, dry time, or workability. And if you are touching up existing Behr work, matching within the same brand gives you the best consistency for seamless results.
