Castleton Mist vs White Dove

Both are Benjamin Moore colors. Castleton Mist reads as beige-yellow, while White Dove reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 83 vs 61, White Dove will read as the brighter of the two — a 22-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. They share a yellow quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 23.8, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

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.
