Amaretto vs Dark Buff

Amaretto and Dark Buff come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Amaretto belongs to the beige-pink family and Dark Buff to the beige-greige family. The 19-point LRV gap — 35 for Dark Buff vs 16 for Amaretto — means Dark Buff 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 22.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
