Vapor vs Macaroon Cream
Vapor is a Benjamin Moore color while Macaroon Cream comes from PPG. These are both beige-yellows, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-yellow to land. With LRVs of 82 and 83, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. With a ΔE of 0.5, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Vapor vs Macaroon Cream Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Vapor on one side and Macaroon Cream on the other.
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.
