Mythic vs Subway Tile
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Mythic reads as grey, while Subway Tile reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Subway Tile (LRV 43) reflects noticeably more light than Mythic (LRV 12), a difference of 31 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Mythic runs purple while Subway Tile is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 33.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. 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.
