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.

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.
