What color is Benjamin Moore Silver Lining?

Benjamin Moore Silver Lining 2119-60 is a light gray with a clear, restrained blue cast that keeps it on the cooler side. Its pale value gives walls an airy appearance without reading as stark white, while the low saturation prevents the blue from becoming overly obvious. In bright daylight, Silver Lining can look like a clean blue-gray; under warmer evening lamps, it may soften toward a quieter neutral gray. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and open living areas where a cool, lightly reflective wall color is wanted. Pair it with crisp white trim, charcoal accents, brushed nickel, pale oak, or natural linen for a composed palette.

LRV of Silver Lining

Silver Lining has an LRV of 58.22% 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 58.22%, 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.
