Mountain Mist vs Shy Cherry

Mountain Mist and Shy Cherry come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Mountain Mist belongs to the blue-grey family and Shy Cherry to the pink-red family. The 57-point LRV gap — 71 for Mountain Mist vs 14 for Shy Cherry — means Mountain Mist will open up a space more effectively.
