Alabaster vs Cabernet

Both are Benjamin Moore colors. Hue-wise, Alabaster belongs to the beige-greige family and Cabernet to the grey family. At LRV 85 vs 13, Alabaster will read as the brighter of the two — a 72-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Alabaster's yellow character against Cabernet's red — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 55.5, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.
