Abalone vs Simply White
Abalone and Simply White come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Abalone reads as greige-grey, while Simply White reads as beige-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 28-point LRV gap — 90 for Simply White vs 62 for Abalone — means Simply White will open up a space more effectively. Where Abalone leans red, Simply White reads yellow — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 13.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
