Gentle Gray vs Secret
Gentle Gray is a Benjamin Moore color while Secret comes from Tikkurila. These are both blue-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-grey to land. At LRV 57 vs 52, Gentle Gray will read as the brighter of the two — a 5-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 3.2, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.
