Aegean Olive vs Gray Mist

Aegean OliveBenjamin MoorevsGray MistBenjamin MooreΔE 51.0 — Very different colors

Aegean Olive and Gray Mist come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Aegean Olive reads as greige-grey, while Gray Mist reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 61-point LRV gap — 73 for Gray Mist vs 12 for Aegean Olive — means Gray Mist will open up a space more effectively. Where Aegean Olive leans yellow, Gray Mist reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 51.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. 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.
