Balboa Mist vs Green Tint
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Balboa Mist reads as beige-greige, while Green Tint reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Green Tint (LRV 72) reflects noticeably more light than Balboa Mist (LRV 66), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Balboa Mist runs red while Green Tint is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 5.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

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.
