Benjamin Moore

Silhouette

AF-655

Silhouette blends charcoal and chocolate brown into a single deep neutral at hex #57504C, with an LRV of 10.18 indicating heavy light absorption. The brown-gray balance is nearly even, though a slight warm lean from the chocolate component prevents it from reading as a cool charcoal. In low light it can appear nearly black, while stronger illumination reveals the brown warmth in its base.

It requires lighter surroundings for balance. Use it with Benjamin Moore's Chantilly Lace for contrast, Shaker Beige for warmth, Manchester Tan for mid-tone support, Hale Navy for tonal variation, and Kendall Charcoal for a monochromatic scheme.
