Solemn Silence vs Mountain Mist
Where Solemn Silence belongs to Behr's range, Mountain Mist is a Benjamin Moore color. These are both blue-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-grey to land. Mountain Mist (LRV 71) reflects noticeably more light than Solemn Silence (LRV 67), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Solemn Silence runs blue while Mountain Mist is decidedly green and blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 2.1, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
