Alabaster vs Metallic Gold
Alabaster and Metallic Gold come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Alabaster reads as beige-greige, while Metallic Gold reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 50-point LRV gap — 85 for Alabaster vs 35 for Metallic Gold — means Alabaster will open up a space more effectively. Where Alabaster leans yellow, Metallic Gold reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 34.6 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
