How they read
In their own wordsSilken Blue CSP-670 is a mid-tone blue-gray from Benjamin Moore's Color Stories collection. The brand describes it as a deep, grayed blue, and lists an LRV of 41.26.
Lamp Room Gray is what Farrow & Ball calls its 'most traditional blue grey' — a mid-light grey with a soft blue cast that feels older and more settled than a modern cool grey. It takes its name from the rooms where oil lamps were once trimmed and stored.
