Which should you pick

Rules of thumb computed from the LRV and Lab values in the table above; no room test was done.

Pick Decorator White (Behr PWN-10) for a small room or a north-facing room, because it is 0.4 LRV points lighter (90.4 vs 90), so it bounces back more of the limited light
Pick Chantilly Lace (BM 2121-70) for a south-facing room, because its Lab b* is 2.2 against 4.1, so it is the cooler of the two and offsets warm direct sun
Pick Decorator White (Behr PWN-10) to warm a north-facing room, because it is the warmer of the two (Lab b* 4.1), which counters cool indirect light
