Distant Gray vs White Wisp
Both are Benjamin Moore colors. Hue-wise, Distant Gray belongs to the green-grey family and White Wisp to the white family. At LRV 88 vs 78, Distant Gray will read as the brighter of the two — a 10-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. They share a green quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 4.8, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Distant Gray vs White Wisp in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Distant Gray and White Wisp are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Bedroom
Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. The LRV gap is large enough that Distant Gray will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than White Wisp would.
Kitchen Cabinets
On cabinetry, undertone and temperature become more pronounced against countertops and hardware. The LRV gap is large enough that Distant Gray will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than White Wisp would.

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.
