Vale Mist vs Eddy
Where Vale Mist belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Eddy is a Farrow & Ball color. Vale Mist reads as greige-grey, while Eddy reads as yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Eddy (LRV 59) reflects noticeably more light than Vale Mist (LRV 56), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Vale Mist runs yellow while Eddy is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 1.5, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Vale Mist vs Eddy in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Vale Mist and Eddy 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 two are close enough that the choice comes down to finer qualities — undertone, texture, what the color sits next to.
Kitchen
In a kitchen, colors are seen under bright task lighting that amplifies undertones — what reads neutral elsewhere can show its hand here. At this scale the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side, as shown here, to reliably tell them apart.
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. At this scale the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side, as shown here, to reliably tell them apart.
Kitchen Cabinets
Kitchen cabinets are constantly compared against adjacent materials, which means subtle differences between these two become much more visible. At this scale the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side, as shown here, to reliably tell them apart.

Vale Mist vs Eddy Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Vale Mist on one side and Eddy 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.
