AlabasterBenjamin MoorevsEtiquetteBenjamin MooreΔE 5.7 — Noticeable difference

Alabaster and Etiquette come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Both sit in the beige-greige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 11-point LRV gap — 85 for Alabaster vs 74 for Etiquette — means Alabaster will open up a space more effectively. Where Alabaster leans yellow, Etiquette reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 5.7 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
