HeirloomBenjamin MoorevsSoft WhiteBenjamin MooreΔE 9.6 — Noticeable difference

Heirloom and Soft White come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Heirloom reads as beige, while Soft White reads as beige-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 12-point LRV gap — 83 for Soft White vs 71 for Heirloom — means Soft White will open up a space more effectively. Both share a red character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. ΔE 9.6 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. 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.
