First Snowfall vs Silver Mist paint color comparison

First Snowfall vs Silver Mist

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, First Snowfall belongs to the blue-grey family and Silver Mist to the blue family. First Snowfall (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Silver Mist (LRV 62), a difference of 11 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean blue, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 5.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. 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.
