October Mist vs Cool Pine
Where October Mist belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Cool Pine is a Valspar color. October Mist reads as grey, while Cool Pine reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. October Mist (LRV 47) reflects noticeably more light than Cool Pine (LRV 40), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 5.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
