Benjamin Moore

Silver Mink

1586

Silver Mink registers as a muted, mid-depth blue-gray with a cool silvery cast that keeps it from reading overtly blue. Its LRV of 43.51 places it below the midpoint of light reflectance, giving it enough weight to define a room without darkening it significantly. The silvery undertone tempers the blue and lends a neutral quality under most lighting.

It coordinates with Benjamin Moore White Dove for soft trim contrast, Gray Owl as a lighter wall companion, Hale Navy for a deeper tonal accent, Palladian Blue for an analogous cool pairing, and Sea Foam to introduce a greener adjacent tone.

Silver Mink 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.
