Silver Mink vs S 3005-B20G
Silver Mink (Benjamin Moore) and S 3005-B20G (NCS) come from different manufacturers. These are both blue-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-grey to land. The 4-point LRV gap — 44 for Silver Mink vs 40 for S 3005-B20G — means Silver Mink will open up a space more effectively. Where Silver Mink leans green and blue, S 3005-B20G reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 3.3 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.

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.
