Tree Moss vs Vale Mist

Tree MossBenjamin MoorevsVale MistBenjamin MooreΔE 6.8Noticeable difference

Tree Moss and Vale Mist come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. These are both greige-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within greige-grey to land. The 9-point LRV gap — 56 for Vale Mist vs 47 for Tree Moss — means Vale Mist will open up a space more effectively. Both share a yellow character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. ΔE 6.8 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Tree Moss vs Vale Mist in Real Spaces

2 real rooms side by side. Tree Moss and Vale Mist 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

A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Vale Mist reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Tree Moss.

Kitchen

Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. Vale Mist returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
