Chantilly Lace vs First Light
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Chantilly Lace belongs to the green-white family and First Light to the pink-red family. Chantilly Lace (LRV 90) reflects noticeably more light than First Light (LRV 76), a difference of 14 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Chantilly Lace runs green while First Light is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 8.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Chantilly Lace vs First Light in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Chantilly Lace and First Light are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that Chantilly Lace will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than First Light would.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Chantilly Lace reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than First Light.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
