What We Love About Silver Satin - OC-26

Silver Satin is part of Benjamin Moore’s Off-White Color collection. This elegant color is distinctive from its off-white counterparts as a gray-tone, silvery paint with a touch of warmth. Silver Satin is clean and refreshing and its nuances make this paint incredibly versatile.

Silver Satin Undertones

Silver Satin, as the name suggests, is a bright off-white that shows lively gray tones. Although it is a warm white, it has a secret ingredient: light purple undertones that give it a sleek silvery tone. This unique characteristic, however, can present different tones, so we recommend that Silver Satin be explored and tested under different lighting to see how it plays off the environment of your space.

While most whites and off-whites that have subtle undertones of yellow, pink, or blue, Chantilly Lace is a bright white paint with almost no undertones, which make it an extremely versatile and neutral paint color. In open plan homes and contemporary spaces, it’s a reliable bright white that ties everything together. Use it on traditional architecture for a crisp, up-to-date look; it’s a great choice for trim and ceilings too.

If you want to enhance the silver, then try this elegant paint in south-facing rooms with plenty of natural light. If you prefer the gray tone, opt for using Silver Satin in a north-facing room.

The Best Rooms to Paint Benjamin Moore Silver Satin

Silver Satin is a safe choice for a bedroom or bathroom where you want to bring a touch of elegance to a bright room. The silver will shine bright in a well-lit room with high ceilings, and thanks to its warm undertones, Silver Satin will add an airy, bright feel to a bedroom without feeling over-crisp.

In the kitchen, silver tones are enhanced against crisp-white crockery, which offers a contrast to the soft undertones and keeps a room feeling airy and bright.

In the bedroom, pair Silver Satin with warm grays to enhance gray undertones, then add a bold, dark color like back, as seen in the chandelier rim; black pops against the soft gray.
