Champignon vs Balboa Mist Color Comparison
Digital color is approximate.

Champignon vs Balboa Mist in Real Spaces
Champignon and Balboa Mist are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone. These real-room photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions. Showing 2 room types where both colors have photos.
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. Champignon reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

Kitchen
Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. Champignon has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
