Benjamin Moore

Silver Half Dollar

2121-40

Silver Half Dollar is a light gray grounded by cool blue undertones that become more visible in natural daylight and recede under warm incandescent light. Its LRV of 56.9 places it in the mid-light range, giving it enough weight to register as a distinct color while still keeping rooms bright. The blue cast is restrained and does not push the color into overtly blue territory.

It works alongside Wickham Gray, Gray Owl, Chantilly Lace, Simply White, and Hale Navy, supporting both soft tonal groupings and sharper contrast pairings.
