What color is Benjamin Moore Silver Chain?
Benjamin Moore Silver Chain 1472 is a light, low-saturation gray with a faint warm cast that keeps it from reading stark or icy. Its nearly equal red and green values give it a soft neutral appearance, while the slightly lower blue component can bring a subtle beige-gray impression in warmer light. On walls, Silver Chain creates a quiet backdrop for natural oak, pale stone, linen upholstery, and brushed nickel finishes. It is especially well suited to bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways where a gentle gray is wanted without strong blue or charcoal undertones. Pair it with creamy off-whites for a softer contrast or deep graphite and black accents for more definition.

LRV of Silver Chain
Silver Chain has an LRV of 56.79% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 56.79%, 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.
