Mythic vs Tar
Mythic (Benjamin Moore) and Tar (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. The 3-point LRV gap — 12 for Mythic vs 9 for Tar — means Mythic will open up a space more effectively. Where Mythic leans purple, Tar reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 6.0 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Mythic vs Tar Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Mythic on one side and Tar on the other.
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.
