What color is Benjamin Moore Silver Mink?
Benjamin Moore Silver Mink 1586 is a muted, mid-light gray with a clear green-blue cast that keeps it from reading flat. Its low saturation gives the color a soft, weathered appearance rather than a crisp or icy one. In daylight, Silver Mink can show more of its cool green-gray character, while warmer indoor lighting tends to soften it toward a gentler gray. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and living areas where a calm neutral is wanted without choosing plain gray. Pair it with clean white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or dusty blue-green textiles.

LRV of Silver Mink
Silver Mink has an LRV of 43.51% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 43.51%, 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.
