Distant Gray vs Serenity

Distant Gray and Serenity come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Distant Gray belongs to the green-grey family and Serenity to the blue family. The 20-point LRV gap — 88 for Distant Gray vs 68 for Serenity — means Distant Gray will open up a space more effectively. Where Distant Gray leans green, Serenity reads blue — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 19.6 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
