Alpaca vs Guesthouse

Alpaca and Guesthouse come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. The 19-point LRV gap — 59 for Alpaca vs 40 for Guesthouse — means Alpaca will open up a space more effectively. Both share a red character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 16.3 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
