Vale Mist vs Fen

Vale MistBenjamin MoorevsFenTikkurilaΔE 3.4Noticeable difference

Vale Mist (Benjamin Moore) and Fen (Tikkurila) come from different manufacturers. These are both greige-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within greige-grey to land. The 4-point LRV gap — 56 for Vale Mist vs 52 for Fen — means Vale Mist will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 3.4 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
