Bohemian Black vs Mountain Fig

Bohemian Black and Mountain Fig come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Hue-wise, Bohemian Black belongs to the grey family and Mountain Fig to the blue-grey family. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 4 vs 4 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Bohemian Black leans neutral, Mountain Fig reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 6.4 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.

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.
