Benjamin Moore

Silver Marlin

2139-50

Silver Marlin is a medium gray carrying distinct blue-green undertones that shift depending on the light source. With an LRV of 55.99, it sits in a balanced mid-range, reflecting enough light to maintain openness while holding visible depth on walls. The green component separates it from purely blue-gray options and gives it a slightly organic quality.

It pairs effectively with Benjamin Moore Smoke for a close tonal match, Quiet Moments for a lighter blue-green companion, Chantilly Lace for crisp white contrast, Hale Navy as a deep accent, and Wrought Iron for a near-black trim or door color.
