Benjamin Moore

Secret Path

CSP-800

Secret Path is a muted, grayed green with an LRV of 27.52, positioning it in the lower-mid range of light reflectance. Its gray undertone prevents it from reading as overtly botanical, giving it a more restrained, earthy appearance on walls. It works alongside White Dove and Edgecomb Gray, which provide enough tonal separation without sharp contrast.

Soft Fern shares its green family for a layered monochromatic effect, and Kendall Charcoal or Hale Navy can define trim and accents against its muted surface.

Secret Path in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
