The difference

Read from the numbers

Both read cool. Pelican Gray is a grays, Silver Metallic a neutrals.

How they read

In their own words

Pelican Gray is a light, silvery grey with a clear blue lean — cooler than the greiges that dominated the last decade, and all the better for it. At LRV 59 it is light enough for a small room and grey enough to feel deliberate. It is the grey of a slate roof after rain.

Silver Metallic is a Meoded decorative plaster rather than a flat paint — a pewter-toned finish with a pearl sheen that shifts as you move through the room. In daylight it reads as a soft warm grey; at night, with candles and lamps, it glimmers like brushed metal.
