Gray MirageBenjamin MoorevsSpring ValleyBenjamin MooreΔE 6.5 — Noticeable difference

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Gray Mirage belongs to the beige-greige family and Spring Valley to the green-yellow family. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (54 vs 56), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. Gray Mirage runs yellow while Spring Valley is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 6.5 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.
