Mineral Alloy vs Thyme
Mineral Alloy and Thyme come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Mineral Alloy reads as blue-grey, while Thyme reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 3-point LRV gap — 28 for Mineral Alloy vs 25 for Thyme — means Mineral Alloy will open up a space more effectively. Where Mineral Alloy leans blue, Thyme reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 39.4 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
