Oriental Iris vs White Dove

Oriental Iris and White Dove come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Oriental Iris reads as blue, while White Dove reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 31-point LRV gap — 83 for White Dove vs 52 for Oriental Iris — means White Dove will open up a space more effectively. Where Oriental Iris leans blue, White Dove reads yellow — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 26.3 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
