About Secret Path
Secret Path (CSP-800) is a deep, muted green from Benjamin Moore that leans yellow. With an LRV of 27, Secret Path absorbs more light than it reflects, so it works best in rooms with good natural light or where you want a cozier feel.
In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Secret Path's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for bedrooms, offices, kitchen islands and cabinets and accent walls. Next to Adirondack Green (453), it's darker.
How Secret Path changes with the light
Secret Path has a fairly balanced undertone: it shifts a little cooler in north light and a little warmer in afternoon west light, which makes it an easy choice for most rooms.
