Benjamin Moore

Deep Secret

CSP-625

Deep Secret is a deep gray with distinct blue undertones that give it a cool, directional cast rather than a neutral read. It has an LRV of 11.64, meaning it absorbs most ambient light and will appear darker in north-facing or poorly lit rooms. This color functions well as an accent wall treatment or ceiling application where its depth can be controlled with adjacent lighter surfaces.

It is suited for modern and contemporary settings. Pair it with Benjamin Moore Iceberg, Gray Owl, Kendall Charcoal, Santorini Blue, or Nimbus Gray.
