Old Glory vs Steam

Old Glory and Steam come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Old Glory reads as blue, while Steam reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 68-point LRV gap — 84 for Steam vs 16 for Old Glory — means Steam will open up a space more effectively. Where Old Glory leans blue, Steam reads yellow — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 62.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
