Finding a Valspar Equivalent for Chantilly Lace
If you love Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace but need a Valspar alternative, you are not alone. This is one of the most common cross-brand paint matching searches, whether you are working with a painter who prefers Valspar, 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 Valspar 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 Valspar 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 results are decent but not perfect. The closest Valspar option is Du Jour (7002-6) with a Delta E of 3.2, which is a "good match" level match. Du Jour is close but has slightly more warmth than Chantilly Lace's ultra-neutral character. You will want to test a sample before committing, as the difference may be noticeable in certain lighting.

Availability matters if your nearest paint store or home center specializes in Valspar. Some painters have strong preferences for one brand's formula based on coverage, dry time, or workability.
