Bewitched vs Steam

BewitchedBenjamin MoorevsSteamBenjamin MooreΔE 72.5 — Very different colors

Both are Benjamin Moore colors. Hue-wise, Bewitched belongs to the pink-red family and Steam to the beige-greige family. At LRV 84 vs 6, Steam will read as the brighter of the two — a 78-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Bewitched's red character against Steam's yellow — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 72.5, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. The LRV gap is large enough that Steam will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Bewitched would.

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.
