Mist vs Black grey
Mist (Jotun) and Black grey (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. Mist reads as beige-greige, while Black grey reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 68-point LRV gap — 74 for Mist vs 6 for Black grey — means Mist will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 69.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Living Room
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Mist reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Black grey.

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