Silver Gray vs Duck Green
Where Silver Gray belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Duck Green is a Farrow & Ball color. Silver Gray reads as blue-grey, while Duck Green reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Silver Gray (LRV 60) reflects noticeably more light than Duck Green (LRV 8), a difference of 52 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Silver Gray runs blue while Duck Green is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 49.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

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.
