What color is Benjamin Moore Iced Cube Silver?
Benjamin Moore Iced Cube Silver 2121-50 is a very light, cool-toned gray with a subtle blue-gray cast. Its pale value keeps walls looking open and airy, while the low saturation prevents the color from reading overly icy or stark. In daylight, Iced Cube Silver can appear clean and lightly silvery; warmer artificial lighting may soften it toward a gentler pale gray. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and light-filled living spaces, especially alongside crisp white trim, brushed nickel, pale oak, or charcoal accents. Use this shade on broad wall surfaces when you want a quiet backdrop with a distinctly cool edge.

LRV of Iced Cube Silver
Iced Cube Silver has an LRV of 73.74% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 73.74%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
