Regent Green vs White Dove
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Regent Green reads as blue-green, while White Dove reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. White Dove (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than Regent Green (LRV 6), a difference of 77 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Regent Green runs blue while White Dove is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 68.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Regent Green vs White Dove in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Seeing Regent Green and White Dove in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
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 White Dove will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Regent Green would.
Dining Room
A dining room lit by a dimmed pendant or candles is one of the most forgiving environments for paint — warm light softens almost everything. White Dove returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. White Dove reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Regent Green.
Kitchen Cabinets
Kitchen cabinets are constantly compared against adjacent materials, which means subtle differences between these two become much more visible. White Dove reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Regent Green.

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.
