What color is Benjamin Moore Silver Crest?

Benjamin Moore Silver Crest 1583 is a pale, muted green-gray with a soft, lightly cool cast. Its high value keeps it airy on broad walls, while the restrained green undertone gives it more character than a standard off-white. In bright daylight, Silver Crest can read as a clean, barely tinted neutral; lower or warmer light may bring out its gentle gray-green side. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and quiet living areas, especially alongside warm white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and linen upholstery. Use it on walls or cabinetry when you want a subtle color that still keeps the room light.

LRV of Silver Crest

Silver Crest has an LRV of 70.25% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 70.25%, 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.
