Bordeaux Red vs Mountain Mist

Bordeaux Red and Mountain Mist come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Bordeaux Red belongs to the pink-red family and Mountain Mist to the blue-grey family. The 61-point LRV gap — 71 for Mountain Mist vs 9 for Bordeaux Red — means Mountain Mist will open up a space more effectively. Where Bordeaux Red leans red, Mountain Mist reads green and blue — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 57.7 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
