Mineral Alloy vs Wish
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Mineral Alloy belongs to the blue-grey family and Wish to the greige-grey family. Wish (LRV 59) reflects noticeably more light than Mineral Alloy (LRV 28), a difference of 30 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Mineral Alloy runs blue while Wish is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 25.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

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.
