Broken Arrow vs Steam
Broken Arrow and Steam come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. The 47-point LRV gap — 84 for Steam vs 37 for Broken Arrow — means Steam will open up a space more effectively. Where Broken Arrow leans red, Steam reads yellow — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 29.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. 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.
