Benjamin Moore

Metallic Silver

2132-60

Metallic Silver is a cool light gray from Benjamin Moore with an LRV of 57.22, reflecting a moderate amount of light. The color contains subtle blue undertones that distinguish it from warmer grays and give it a slightly steely, crisp quality. In north-facing rooms, the blue cast becomes more apparent, while warmer lighting neutralizes it.

It coordinates with Silver Half Dollar 2121-40 for a layered gray approach, Hale Navy HC-154 for bold contrast, Simply White OC-117 as a clean ceiling or trim option, Stonington Gray HC-170 for a tonal step, and Gentleman's Gray 2062-20 for a darker anchor.
