What color is Benjamin Moore Silken Pine?

Benjamin Moore Silken Pine 2144-50 is a pale, muted green with a soft gray cast and a lightly yellowed undertone. Its high lightness keeps it airy on broad walls, while the restrained color gives it more presence than an off-white. In daylight, Silken Pine can read as a gentle leafy neutral; under warm lamps, its subtle yellow-green side may become more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and quiet living spaces, especially alongside warm white trim, pale oak, linen upholstery, and brushed brass. For more contrast, pair this shade with charcoal, deep olive, or blackened bronze details.

What are Benjamin Moore Silken Pine undertones?

Silken Pine reads as a very light, muted yellow-green with a soft, near-white depth and low saturation. The visible color leans gently green with a slight yellow cast, though that bias is subtle in the supplied digital sample. Benjamin Moore describes it as “a soft, soothing aloe green with a silvery cast,” which fits its pale green main family and restrained, grayish-looking character. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its yellow-green warmth, while cool daylight can make the silvery, lightly green side more noticeable.

LRV of Silken Pine

Silken Pine has an LRV of 74.02% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 74.02%, 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.
