Coastline vs Quicksilver
Where Coastline belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Quicksilver is a PPG color. These are both blue-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-grey to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (34 vs 34), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. At ΔE 0.9, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Coastline vs Quicksilver in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Coastline and Quicksilver 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.
Mudroom
Mudrooms are seen in passing, often under whatever light comes through the door — a context that favors colors with some depth. In photos like these you're seeing the difference at its most direct. In a finished room, the distinction is there but not dramatic.

Coastline vs Quicksilver Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Coastline on one side and Quicksilver 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.
