Killarney vs October Mist paint color comparison

Killarney vs October Mist

Both are Benjamin Moore colors. Killarney reads as greige-grey, while October Mist reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. With LRVs of 47 and 47, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. The tonal difference — Killarney's warm character against October Mist's yellow — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. With a ΔE of 2.3, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. 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.
