How they read
In their own wordsSilver 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.
Pashmina is Benjamin Moore's most even-handed taupe: the brand describes it as 'perfectly balanced between warm and cool, light and dark'. It belongs to the Affinity collection, designed so that every colour in it harmonises with every other.
