Pineapple Orange vs Steam
Pineapple Orange and Steam come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Pineapple Orange reads as beige, while Steam reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 18-point LRV gap — 84 for Steam vs 67 for Pineapple Orange — means Steam will open up a space more effectively. Where Pineapple Orange leans red, Steam reads yellow — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 26.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
