Amorous vs Steam
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Amorous belongs to the grey family and Steam to the beige-greige family. Steam (LRV 84) reflects noticeably more light than Amorous (LRV 27), a difference of 57 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Amorous runs purple while Steam is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 38.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
