Blue Gaspe vs Steam

Blue Gaspe and Steam come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Blue Gaspe belongs to the blue-grey family and Steam to the beige-greige family. The 70-point LRV gap — 84 for Steam vs 14 for Blue Gaspe — means Steam will open up a space more effectively. Where Blue Gaspe leans blue, Steam reads yellow — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 54.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
