Mindful Gray vs Roycroft Mist Gray paint color comparison

Mindful Gray vs Roycroft Mist Gray

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Both sit in the greige-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Roycroft Mist Gray (LRV 51) reflects noticeably more light than Mindful Gray (LRV 48), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. At ΔE 2.4, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. 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.
