Misty Blush vs Abalone Shell
Where Misty Blush belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Abalone Shell is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both beige-pinks, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-pink to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (61 vs 60), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. Misty Blush runs red while Abalone Shell is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 1.9, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
