Both are Tikkurila colors. Both sit in the greige-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. With LRVs of 62 and 62, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. With a ΔE of 2.2, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Median on one side and Mirage 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.
