Steam vs Vintage

Steam and Vintage come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Steam reads as beige-greige, while Vintage reads as beige-pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 38-point LRV gap — 84 for Steam vs 46 for Vintage — means Steam will open up a space more effectively. Where Steam leans yellow, Vintage reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 24.8 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
