ΔE 7.6 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.

Alabaster vs Mink Frost in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Alabaster and Mink Frost 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
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Alabaster reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Mink Frost.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Alabaster on one side and Mink Frost on the other.
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.
