White Dove vs Nouvelle White
Where White Dove belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Nouvelle White is a Sherwin-Williams color. Hue-wise, White Dove belongs to the beige-greige family and Nouvelle White to the grey-white family. White Dove (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than Nouvelle White (LRV 72), a difference of 11 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. White Dove runs yellow while Nouvelle White is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 7.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
