Benjamin Moore

Silver Chain

1472 / AC-25

Silver Chain is a cool gray with green-tinged undertones that become visible in certain lighting, particularly under fluorescent or north-facing natural light. Its LRV of 56.79 places it in the mid-light range, offering enough depth to define a space without making it feel closed in. The color reads as a true neutral in warm incandescent light.

It coordinates with White Dove, Gray Owl, Pale Oak, Revere Pewter, and Kendall Charcoal, providing flexibility across a spectrum from light to dark within a cool-neutral family.
