Alabaster vs Muslin

Alabaster and Muslin come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Alabaster belongs to the beige-greige family and Muslin to the beige family. The 19-point LRV gap — 85 for Alabaster vs 67 for Muslin — means Alabaster will open up a space more effectively. Where Alabaster leans yellow, Muslin reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 11.7 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
