Mistral vs Summer Day
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Summer Day (LRV 52) reflects noticeably more light than Mistral (LRV 10), a difference of 41 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Mistral runs blue while Summer Day is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 43.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

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.
