Deep Secret® vs Dix Blue

Deep Secret®Benjamin MoorevsDix BlueFarrow & BallΔE 33.3Very different colors

Deep Secret® is a Benjamin Moore color while Dix Blue comes from Farrow & Ball. These are both blue-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-grey to land. At LRV 41 vs 12, Dix Blue will read as the brighter of the two — a 29-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. They share a cool quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 33.3, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. 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.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
