Abalone vs Cinnabar
Abalone and Cinnabar come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Abalone belongs to the greige-grey family and Cinnabar to the pink-red family. The 49-point LRV gap — 62 for Abalone vs 13 for Cinnabar — means Abalone will open up a space more effectively. Both share a red character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 56.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Abalone vs Cinnabar Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Abalone on one side and Cinnabar on the other.
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.
