Alabaster vs Seapearl

AlabasterBenjamin MoorevsSeapearlBenjamin MooreΔE 4.5 — Noticeable difference

Both are Benjamin Moore colors. Both sit in the beige-greige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. At LRV 85 vs 76, Alabaster will read as the brighter of the two — a 9-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. They share a yellow quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 4.5, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Alabaster vs Seapearl in Real Spaces

3 real rooms side by side. Alabaster and Seapearl are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.

Living Room

Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Alabaster returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Bedroom

Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. The LRV gap is large enough that Alabaster will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Seapearl would.

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.
