Par Four vs Vanilla Milkshake paint color comparison

Par Four vs Vanilla Milkshake

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Par Four belongs to the green-yellow family and Vanilla Milkshake to the beige-greige family. Vanilla Milkshake (LRV 81) reflects noticeably more light than Par Four (LRV 64), a difference of 17 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Par Four runs green while Vanilla Milkshake is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 9.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. 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.
