HGTV Home equivalent of Benjamin Moore White Dove OC-17
The closest HGTV Home colour is Iconic White (HGSW4004), at ΔE 0.62 — indistinguishable.

Why people switch between Benjamin Moore and HGTV Home
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 HGTV Home 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.
