Mist vs Porcelain
Mist (Jotun) and Porcelain (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Mist belongs to the beige-greige family and Porcelain to the beige family. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 74 vs 75 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Both share a warm character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 2.2 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Mist vs Porcelain in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Mist and Porcelain 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
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. At this scale the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side, as shown here, to reliably tell them apart.

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