Why people switch between Benjamin Moore and Farrow & Ball

White Dove is the most-searched paint colour in the catalogue, and the one people most often need to reproduce somewhere else. It is a warm off-white that stays quiet in almost any light — which is exactly why substituting it is risky. Get the undertone wrong and the whole room turns cream or grey.

Most people comparing Benjamin Moore to Farrow & Ball are not shopping for a new colour. They have already chosen one, and then hit a price difference or a painter who buys from a single supplier. The question is what goes on the wall instead.
