Benjamin Moore

Silky Smooth

1373

Silky Smooth is a light pink with soft red undertones moderated by a warm beige base. With an LRV of 76.66, it reflects considerable light and reads as a near-neutral blush rather than a saturated pink in most lighting conditions. The warmth is subtle enough that it does not dominate a room but is still perceptible against true whites.

It works well alongside White Dove, Simply White, Pale Oak, Wind's Breath, and Ballet White, which maintain a cohesive warm-neutral palette without competing for attention.

Silky Smooth 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.
