Alabaster vs Malted Milk

Alabaster and Malted Milk come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Alabaster belongs to the beige-greige family and Malted Milk to the beige-pink family. The 25-point LRV gap — 85 for Alabaster vs 60 for Malted Milk — means Alabaster will open up a space more effectively. Where Alabaster leans yellow, Malted Milk reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 13.4 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
