A la Mode vs Delicate Veil
Where A la Mode belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Delicate Veil is a Dulux color. A la Mode reads as greige-white, while Delicate Veil reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Delicate Veil (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than A la Mode (LRV 75), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. A la Mode runs red while Delicate Veil is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 1.5, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
