Wimborne White (LRV 90) reflects noticeably more light than White Dove (LRV 83), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light.

White Dove vs Wimborne White in Real Spaces

6 real rooms side by side. White Dove and Wimborne White 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.

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. Wimborne White has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
