Arctic Gray vs Silver Marlin
Both are Benjamin Moore colors. These are both green-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green-grey to land. At LRV 61 vs 56, Arctic Gray will read as the brighter of the two — a 5-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. They share a green quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. With a ΔE of 2.9, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Arctic Gray vs Silver Marlin in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Arctic Gray and Silver Marlin are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Arctic Gray has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

Arctic Gray vs Silver Marlin Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Arctic Gray on one side and Silver Marlin 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.
