Zero Gravity vs Balboa Mist
Zero Gravity is a Behr color while Balboa Mist comes from Benjamin Moore. Hue-wise, Zero Gravity belongs to the grey family and Balboa Mist to the beige-greige family. At LRV 66 vs 57, Balboa Mist will read as the brighter of the two — a 9-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Zero Gravity's green and blue character against Balboa Mist's red — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 7.9, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Zero Gravity vs Balboa Mist in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Zero Gravity and Balboa Mist 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.
Kitchen
Kitchen lighting tends to be bright and directional, which sharpens contrast and makes undertone differences more apparent. The LRV gap is large enough that Balboa Mist will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Zero Gravity would.
Dining Room
Dining room light is typically the warmest in the house, which shifts both colors toward the red end of the spectrum compared to daylight. Balboa Mist reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Zero Gravity.

Zero Gravity vs Balboa Mist Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Zero Gravity on one side and Balboa Mist 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.
