Silver Mink vs Polaris
Where Silver Mink belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Polaris is a PPG color. These are both blue-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-grey to land. Silver Mink (LRV 44) reflects noticeably more light than Polaris (LRV 41), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 2.1, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Silver Mink vs Polaris Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Silver Mink on one side and Polaris on the other.
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.
