Gray Mist vs Pewter Green
Gray Mist (Benjamin Moore) and Pewter Green (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Gray Mist belongs to the beige-greige family and Pewter Green to the green-grey family. The 61-point LRV gap — 73 for Gray Mist vs 12 for Pewter Green — means Gray Mist will open up a space more effectively. Where Gray Mist leans warm, Pewter Green reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 48.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Gray Mist on one side and Pewter Green on the other.
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.
