Benjamin Moore

Deep Silver

2124-30

Deep Silver is a medium-dark gray with a slight blue undertone that keeps it from reading as a warm or yellow-leaning neutral. Its LRV of 29.02 places it in the mid-range, reflecting enough light to work as a main wall color in adequately lit rooms without feeling too heavy. The cool lean makes it compatible with contemporary, minimalist, and industrial design directions.

It performs well in living rooms, bedrooms, and offices. Consider pairing it with Benjamin Moore Silver Satin, Stonington Gray, White Dove, Ballet White, or Onyx.

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.
