Mountain Mist vs S 1000-N
Mountain Mist (Benjamin Moore) and S 1000-N (NCS) come from different manufacturers. Mountain Mist reads as blue-grey, while S 1000-N reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 3-point LRV gap — 74 for S 1000-N vs 71 for Mountain Mist — means S 1000-N will open up a space more effectively. Where Mountain Mist leans green and blue, S 1000-N reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 3.9 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.

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.
