Benjamin Moore

Silvery Blue

1647

Silvery Blue registers at an LRV of 61.28 and reads as a cool, muted blue with understated silver-gray undertones that prevent it from skewing too saturated on walls. In strong natural light it can appear almost pale and recessive, while in dimmer conditions the gray base becomes more prominent. It holds well alongside other cool-leaning selections such as Benjamin Moore White Diamond, Iceberg, Horizon, Silver Lake, and Nimbus Gray.

The color functions primarily as a light-to-mid-range blue suited to walls, cabinetry, or accent surfaces in rooms with moderate to high ambient light.
