Alabaster vs Tissue Pink

AlabasterBenjamin MoorevsTissue PinkBenjamin MooreΔE 9.1 — Noticeable difference

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Alabaster reads as beige-greige, while Tissue Pink reads as beige-pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Alabaster (LRV 85) reflects noticeably more light than Tissue Pink (LRV 71), a difference of 14 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Alabaster runs yellow while Tissue Pink is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 9.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Alabaster vs Tissue Pink in Real Spaces

2 real rooms side by side. Alabaster and Tissue Pink 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

In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that Alabaster will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Tissue Pink would.

Bedroom

The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Alabaster reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Tissue Pink.

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.
