The Top Benjamin Moore Whites for Kitchen Cabinets: Why Chantilly Lace Leads the Pack

When it comes to painting kitchen cabinets, there’s one question we get almost every time: “What’s the most popular white paint color?”

We’ve worked on hundreds of cabinet projects, and while everyone’s style is unique, the numbers speak for themselves. By a two-to-one margin, the most requested white we use for kitchen cabinets is Benjamin Moore’s Chantilly Lace. Hands down, it’s the favorite.

Why Chantilly Lace?

Chantilly Lace (OC-65) is a crisp, clean white with almost no undertone. It’s bright without feeling stark and plays nicely with just about any kitchen style—modern, traditional, farmhouse, you name it. If you’re looking for a timeless white that won’t clash with countertops or backsplashes, this is your go-to.

The Classic Contender: White Dove

Coming in second, but still a solid pick, is White Dove (OC-17). It’s warmer and softer than Chantilly Lace, with subtle creamy undertones. If you want white cabinets that feel cozy and inviting—especially when paired with warmer flooring or natural stone—White Dove is a beautiful choice.

Not Sure Which White Is Right for You?

Here’s a quick comparison chart to help you decide. It highlights the key differences between these two Benjamin Moore favorites and how they behave in different spaces and lighting conditions.

No matter which white you choose, having your cabinets professionally refinished means they’ll look sleek, modern, and refreshed—without the cost or hassle of a full kitchen renovation.
