Read from the numbersTranquility is the lighter of the two at LRV 53.31, 38.6 points above Coat of Arms at LRV 14.74. Both read cool. Coat of Arms is a blues, Tranquility a neutrals. For a whole room, Tranquility is the safer, more forgiving choice thanks to its higher LRV, while Coat of Arms is the bolder pick.
How they read
In their own wordsCoat of Arms is a deep, grey-tempered teal — blue enough to anchor a room the way a navy would, green enough to feel alive against wood, brass and raffia. At LRV 14.7 it is a genuinely dark color, and that darkness is where its elegance lives: it recedes, it flatters everything placed against it, and it never looks like a color that is trying.
Tranquility is a pale grey from Benjamin Moore's Affinity collection with a soft green-blue whisper — the color of sea fog rather than a city sky. At LRV 53 it is a true light-mid tone, and it does exactly what its name suggests: it calms a room without making it cold.
