Engagement Silver vs Planetary Silver
Engagement Silver and Planetary Silver come from the same Behr collection. Hue-wise, Engagement Silver belongs to the green-grey family and Planetary Silver to the grey family. The 7-point LRV gap — 62 for Planetary Silver vs 55 for Engagement Silver — means Planetary Silver will open up a space more effectively. Both share a green character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 45.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Engagement Silver vs Planetary Silver in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Seeing Engagement Silver and Planetary Silver in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
Living Room
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Planetary Silver reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Engagement Silver on one side and Planetary Silver on the other.
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.
