What color is Benjamin Moore Silver Mist?

Benjamin Moore Silver Mist 1619 is a light, muted blue-gray with a noticeably cool cast and soft gray restraint. Its low saturation keeps the blue subtle rather than decorative, making it especially suited to bedrooms, bathrooms, and airy living areas. In bright daylight, Silver Mist can read cleaner and slightly bluer, while lower or warmer artificial light may bring its gray side forward. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or charcoal details for a quiet, tailored contrast. It is a strong wall color for spaces that need color without the visual weight of a deeper blue.

What are Benjamin Moore Silver Mist undertones?

Silver Mist is a light, very muted blue-gray with low saturation and a soft, slightly cool overall character. In the supplied digital sample, the blue direction is more noticeable than any greenish cast, though the color’s bias is subtle rather than strong. Benjamin Moore describes it as a “misty blue” softened by a silver cast, which fits its visible blue-gray main family rather than making it read as a clear or vivid blue. Warm artificial light may make it appear a little grayer or less cool, while cool daylight can help its quiet blue cast show more clearly.

LRV of Silver Mist

Silver Mist has an LRV of 62.21% 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 62.21%, 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.
