Mink vs Silver Fox
Mink and Silver Fox come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Mink belongs to the beige-greige family and Silver Fox to the greige-grey family. The 36-point LRV gap — 44 for Silver Fox vs 7 for Mink — means Silver Fox will open up a space more effectively. Both share a red character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 42.6 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
