Looking Glass vs White Dove

Looking GlassBehrvsWhite DoveBenjamin MooreΔE 4.9Noticeable difference

Where Looking Glass belongs to Behr's range, White Dove is a Benjamin Moore color. Looking Glass reads as grey, while White Dove reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. White Dove (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than Looking Glass (LRV 74), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Looking Glass runs green while White Dove is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 4.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
