Mist vs S 1500-N
Where Mist belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, S 1500-N is a NCS color. These are both greige-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within greige-grey to land. Mist (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than S 1500-N (LRV 64), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 2.8, 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 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Mist vs S 1500-N in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Mist and S 1500-N 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 brightness difference is modest but present — Mist gives the walls a little more lift.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Mist on one side and S 1500-N 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.
