White Drifts vs Grey Mist
White Drifts is a Benjamin Moore color while Grey Mist comes from Sherwin-Williams. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. With LRVs of 74 and 75, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. The tonal difference — White Drifts's yellow character against Grey Mist's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. With a ΔE of 1.3, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.
