Alabaster vs Calm

Alabaster and Calm come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Alabaster reads as beige-greige, while Calm reads as greige-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 9-point LRV gap — 85 for Alabaster vs 76 for Calm — means Alabaster will open up a space more effectively. Where Alabaster leans yellow, Calm reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 4.0 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.
