Pick Chantilly Lace (BM 2121-70) for a small room or a north-facing room, because it is 0.5 LRV points lighter (90 vs 89.5), 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 4.3, so it is the cooler of the two and offsets warm direct sun
Pick Simply White (BM 2143-70) to warm a north-facing room, because it is the warmer of the two (Lab b* 4.3), which counters cool indirect light
