Give this sample a clear job

Sample Benjamin Moore Dove Wing OC-18 beside the fixed finishes, in the intended orientation and under normal room lighting. The trial should settle a silver-white layer beside stone . Dove Wing's silvery description distinguishes it from whites chosen mainly for cream warmth.

Why the gray limestone and ivory fabric relationship matters

Gray limestone and ivory fabric supply two different pale references, requiring the wall to connect them rather than merely match the stone.

Dove Wing has an LRV of 77.52; Benjamin Moore Seapearl OC-19 is 76.43. The difference is 1.09 points, with Dove Wing returning more light under the reference measurement.

Keep the comparison fair

Label the Dove Wing board and hold it directly against each permanent white, with equal lighting and orientation. Include the intended trim finish in the last trial. The approved sample should resolve the actual white-to-white boundaries, rather than simply look pleasant on blank paper.

Approve the actual coating and the least favorable view

Keep the silver quality only if it connects the stone and fabric; compare a warmer white as a control. The undertones and neighboring colors covers that related choice.

Keep the approved dried board with the complete Benjamin Moore OC-18 product and finish specification. Follow the actual coating instructions for application, drying and preparation; the color name does not settle those requirements. The daylight and evening-light checks covers that related choice. Before ordering samples, compare room-planning features in the paint color visualizer roundup.
