Camelot vs Steam

CamelotBenjamin MoorevsSteamBenjamin MooreΔE 61.2 — Very different colors

Camelot and Steam come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Camelot belongs to the grey family and Steam to the beige-greige family. The 75-point LRV gap — 84 for Steam vs 10 for Camelot — means Steam will open up a space more effectively. Where Camelot leans red, Steam reads yellow — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 61.2 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.
