Millennium Silver

HDC-NT-27

Millennium Silver is a cool mid gray with a blue-green hint. It feels crisp and modern. Good spots include offices, baths, cabinets, and modern bedrooms when beige would feel too warm.

At LRV 58, it can handle full walls with white trim and still show contrast. Warm wood floors are useful here because they keep the gray from going sterile. Under cool LEDs, expect a more metallic cast.

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
