Moccasin vs Steam

Moccasin and Steam come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Moccasin reads as beige, while Steam reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 23-point LRV gap — 84 for Steam vs 62 for Moccasin — means Steam will open up a space more effectively. Where Moccasin leans warm, Steam reads yellow — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 15.8 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
