Sherwin Williams

Samovar Silver

SW 6233

Samovar Silver is a cool-toned, low-chroma blue-gray with a subtle green-blue undertone that adds quiet complexity. At an LRV of 51, it sits near the midpoint of the reflectance scale, providing moderate brightness that reads as neither light nor dark in most lighting conditions. This makes it a practical wall color for living rooms, hallways, and bedrooms where a neutral backdrop with slight cool character is needed.

It coordinates with Sherwin-Williams Passive for a tonal cool pairing, Olympus White for a lighter transition, Naval for dark contrast, Extra White for clean trim, and High Reflective White for maximum definition.
