Chateau vs Mythic

ChateauBenjamin MoorevsMythicBenjamin MooreΔE 31.4 — Very different colors

Chateau and Mythic come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Chateau belongs to the greige-grey family and Mythic to the grey family. The 25-point LRV gap — 37 for Chateau vs 12 for Mythic — means Chateau will open up a space more effectively. Where Chateau leans red, Mythic reads purple — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 31.4 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.
