Gray Mist vs Jute
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Both sit in the beige-greige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Gray Mist (LRV 73) reflects noticeably more light than Jute (LRV 63), a difference of 10 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Gray Mist runs yellow while Jute is decidedly yellow and red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 6.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Gray Mist vs Jute in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Gray Mist and Jute 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 LRV gap is large enough that Gray Mist will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Jute 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.
