Every room, each color

The difference

Read from the numbers

Silver Metallic leans cool where Nantucket Gray reads warm. Silver Metallic is a gray, Nantucket Gray a green.

How they read

In their own words

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.

Nantucket Gray is a Historical Colors grey-green — Benjamin Moore likens it to 'fog settling over grassy fields'. Despite the name it is more sage than grey: a soft, yellow-based green that reads as a neutral once it is on cabinetry.
