Alabaster vs Chestnut

Both are Benjamin Moore colors. Alabaster reads as beige-greige, while Chestnut reads as pink-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 85 vs 9, Alabaster will read as the brighter of the two — a 76-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Alabaster's yellow character against Chestnut's red — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 66.3, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.
