What color is Benjamin Moore Silky Smooth?
Benjamin Moore Silky Smooth 1373 is a very light warm neutral with a soft blush-beige cast. Its low saturation keeps it close to an off-white, while the slight red warmth prevents it from reading stark or icy. In bright daylight, this color can appear airy and pale, while evening light may bring out its gentle rosy undertone. It suits bedrooms, living rooms, and powder rooms where a quiet alternative to plain white is wanted. Pair it with creamy trim, pale oak, linen upholstery, and muted clay or mushroom accents for a layered, natural-looking palette.
LRV of Silky Smooth
Silky Smooth has an LRV of 76.66% 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 76.66%, 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.
