What color is Benjamin Moore Silver Satin?
Benjamin Moore Silver Satin OC-26 is a pale, softly muted off-white with a gentle gray cast and a subtle warm beige influence. Its light value keeps walls bright without reading as stark white, while the low saturation gives it a quiet, powdery appearance. In daylight, Silver Satin can look like a clean light gray-beige; warmer bulbs tend to bring forward its creamy undertone. It suits bedrooms, living rooms, hallways, and open-plan spaces where a light neutral is wanted without the sharpness of a pure white. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents for contrast.

LRV of Silver Satin
Silver Satin has an LRV of 74.9% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of 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 74.9%, 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.
