Clouded mirror vs. Misted mirror

Hi

I assume both clouded mirror and misted mirror are natural English? Google Ngrams suggest that the former is much more common than the latter. Could I request your take on this?

Thanks,

Tom

I don't remember saying or hearing either term. If I can't see myself in the bathroom mirror after I shower, I say eg The mirror is steamed up . Clive

A misted mirror sounds as if someone sprayed a bit of water on it.

I would even say the mirror is foggy.
