Cordovan Brown vs Phantom Mist
Where Cordovan Brown belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Phantom Mist is a PPG color. Both sit in the grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Phantom Mist (LRV 6) reflects noticeably more light than Cordovan Brown (LRV 0), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 0.8, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.

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.
