Soft Chamois vs Mink Frost
Where Soft Chamois belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Mink Frost is a Valspar color. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. Soft Chamois (LRV 77) reflects noticeably more light than Mink Frost (LRV 70), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 5.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Soft Chamois vs Mink Frost in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Soft Chamois and Mink Frost are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The brightness difference is modest but present — Soft Chamois gives the walls a little more lift.

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.
