Marquee Sweet (PPU7-15) is a light cream with warm cotton cream undertones. A warm cream with the soft, textured quality of cotton knit fabric. Lighter than Vintage Linen, warmer than Gallery White. To find a good Benjamin Moore match, we need a color that captures not just the right depth (LRV 76) but also that specific undertone character. That is where Delta E color science comes in.
We calculated the perceptual color distance between Marquee Sweet and every Benjamin Moore color using the CIE2000 Delta E formula, which measures how different two colors look to the human eye. A Delta E under 2 means most people cannot tell the colors apart. Between 2 and 4, you might notice a difference in certain lighting. Above 5, the difference is clearly visible side by side.
The results are decent but not perfect. The closest Benjamin Moore option is Cameo White (OC-9) with a Delta E of 3.8, which is a "good match" level match. Cameo White is similar. You will want to test a sample before committing, as the difference may be noticeable in certain lighting.

No, they are not identical. Marquee Sweet is a Behr color with warm cotton cream undertones and an LRV of 76. Cameo White is a Benjamin Moore color with warm cameo cream undertones and an LRV of 80.22. With a Delta E of 3.8, the difference is subtle and mainly visible in direct side-by-side comparison. Paint formulations differ between brands, so even colors with similar values can look slightly different due to pigment concentration, binders, and finish.
With a Delta E of 3.8, the difference is enough that they should not be used on adjacent walls in the same room. You can use them in separate rooms of the same house, but be aware that walking from one room to the other may reveal the difference, especially if the rooms have similar lighting. For the most consistent look, pick one brand for all connected living spaces and reserve the other brand for visually separate rooms like bathrooms or bedrooms behind closed doors.
There are several practical reasons to look for a Benjamin Moore equivalent. Price differences between brands can be significant on large projects. Availability matters if your nearest paint store or home center specializes in Benjamin Moore. Some painters have strong preferences for one brand's formula based on coverage, dry time, or workability.
