Benjamin Moore

Silent Night

1613

Silent Night presents as a cool neutral gray with a discernible blue undertone at hex #B0B4B7 and an LRV of 45.38. It falls just below the reflectance midpoint, giving it enough weight to anchor a wall without darkening a room. The blue cast is restrained, reading more as coolness in the gray than as overt blue.

Under warm incandescent light, the blue recedes and it appears closer to a true gray. It pairs with Benjamin Moore's Gray Owl for layering, Kendall Charcoal for depth, Edgecomb Gray for warm contrast, Classic Gray for transition, and Chantilly Lace for trim.

Silent Night in Different Light

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.
