Deep Mauve vs Silver Mink

Deep Mauve and Silver Mink come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Deep Mauve belongs to the pink family and Silver Mink to the blue-grey family. The 24-point LRV gap — 44 for Silver Mink vs 20 for Deep Mauve — means Silver Mink will open up a space more effectively. Where Deep Mauve leans red, Silver Mink reads green and blue — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 30.7 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
