Comet vs Silver Marlin
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Comet belongs to the blue-grey family and Silver Marlin to the green-grey family. Silver Marlin (LRV 56) reflects noticeably more light than Comet (LRV 36), a difference of 20 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Comet runs blue while Silver Marlin is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 17.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
