Astronomical vs Mountain Pine
Both from Behr's palette. Astronomical reads as grey, while Mountain Pine reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Mountain Pine (LRV 15) reflects noticeably more light than Astronomical (LRV 7), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Astronomical runs green while Mountain Pine is decidedly green and blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 14.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
