Night Mist vs Snowbound
Where Night Mist belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Snowbound is a Sherwin-Williams color. Hue-wise, Night Mist belongs to the green-grey family and Snowbound to the beige-greige family. Snowbound (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than Night Mist (LRV 63), a difference of 20 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Night Mist runs green while Snowbound is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 9.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Night Mist vs Snowbound in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Night Mist and Snowbound are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that Snowbound will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Night Mist would.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. Snowbound reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Night Mist.

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.
