Distant Gray vs Mink Frost
Where Distant Gray belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Mink Frost is a Valspar color. Distant Gray reads as green-grey, while Mink Frost reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Distant Gray (LRV 88) reflects noticeably more light than Mink Frost (LRV 70), a difference of 18 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 9.7 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.
