What color is Benjamin Moore Silver Song?
Benjamin Moore Silver Song 1557 is a light, softly muted gray with a subtle green-olive cast visible beneath its pale surface. Its low saturation keeps it from reading overtly green, giving walls a quiet, weathered look rather than a crisp cool-gray finish. In daylight, the green undertone may be easier to notice, while warmer bulbs can pull it closer to a gentle gray-beige. Silver Song suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and living areas with natural wood, linen upholstery, aged brass, and creamy off-white trim. Use it on broad walls or cabinetry where its understated color shift can add more interest than a straightforward neutral.

LRV of Silver Song
Silver Song has an LRV of 53.17% 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 53.17%, 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.
