Berber White vs Steam
Berber White and Steam come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Berber White reads as beige-white, while Steam reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 21-point LRV gap — 84 for Steam vs 63 for Berber White — means Steam will open up a space more effectively. Where Berber White leans warm, Steam reads yellow — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 12.5 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.
