Abyss vs Silver Fox
Abyss and Silver Fox come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Abyss belongs to the blue-grey family and Silver Fox to the greige-grey family. The 36-point LRV gap — 44 for Silver Fox vs 7 for Abyss — means Silver Fox will open up a space more effectively. Where Abyss leans blue, Silver Fox reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 44.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
