Metropolitan vs Secret

Metropolitan and Secret come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. The 24-point LRV gap — 50 for Metropolitan vs 26 for Secret — means Metropolitan will open up a space more effectively. Where Metropolitan leans green, Secret reads yellow — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 19.4 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
