Mistletoe vs North Cascades

MistletoeBenjamin MoorevsNorth CascadesBenjamin MooreΔE 27.1 — Very different colors

Mistletoe and North Cascades come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Mistletoe reads as grey, while North Cascades reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 25-point LRV gap — 55 for North Cascades vs 30 for Mistletoe — means North Cascades will open up a space more effectively. Where Mistletoe leans green and yellow, North Cascades reads blue and purple — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 27.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. 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.
