Silver MinkBenjamin MoorevsCelestial BlueLittle GreeneΔE 3.2Noticeable difference

Where Silver Mink belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Celestial Blue is a Little Greene color. Hue-wise, Silver Mink belongs to the blue-grey family and Celestial Blue to the blue-green family. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (44 vs 44), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. Silver Mink runs green and blue while Celestial Blue is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 3.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
