Brassica vs Mythical

BrassicaFarrow & BallvsMythicalSherwin-WilliamsΔE 9.2Noticeable difference

Brassica is a Farrow & Ball color while Mythical comes from Sherwin-Williams. Brassica reads as grey, while Mythical reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 24 vs 20, Brassica will read as the brighter of the two — a 4-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Brassica's neutral character against Mythical's cool — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 9.2, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. 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.
