Every room, each color

The difference

Read from the numbers

Silver Satin is the lighter of the two at LRV 74.9, 63.3 points above Deep Secret at LRV 11.64. Deep Secret leans cool where Silver Satin reads warm. Deep Secret is a gray, Silver Satin a white. For a whole room, Silver Satin is the safer, more forgiving choice thanks to its higher LRV, while Deep Secret is the bolder pick.

How they read

In their own words

Deep Secret is a dark charcoal grey with a clear blue undertone — Benjamin Moore files it in the blue family and calls it 'your new favorite gray'. It comes from the Color Stories collection, whose full-spectrum formulas shift more with the light than standard paints.

Silver Satin is the quiet professional of the off-white world — soft, low-chroma, and just warm enough to never read as stark. In a north-facing room it settles into a calm greige; in afternoon sun it lifts to a clean, milky white without ever turning yellow.
