Fog Mist vs Mist
Where Fog Mist belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Mist is a Jotun color. Both sit in the beige-greige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Mist (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Fog Mist (LRV 70), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Fog Mist runs red while Mist is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 1.1, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Fog Mist vs Mist in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Fog Mist and Mist 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.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The brightness difference is modest but present — Mist gives the walls a little more lift.

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.
