Night Mist vs Tempest
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Night Mist reads as green-grey, while Tempest reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Night Mist (LRV 63) reflects noticeably more light than Tempest (LRV 20), a difference of 44 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Night Mist runs green while Tempest is decidedly purple, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 35.5, 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.
