In real rooms

Every room, each color

The difference

Read from the numbers

Silver Satin is the lighter of the two at LRV 74.9, 60.2 points above Coat of Arms at LRV 14.74. Silver Satin leans warm where Coat of Arms reads cool. Silver Satin is a white, Coat of Arms a blue. For a whole room, Silver Satin is the safer, more forgiving choice thanks to its higher LRV, while Coat of Arms is the bolder pick.

How they read

In their own words

Silver Satin is the quiet professional of the off-white world — soft, low-chroma, and just warm enough to never read as stark. In a north-facing room it settles into a calm greige; in afternoon sun it lifts to a clean, milky white without ever turning yellow.

Coat of Arms is a deep, gray-tempered teal — blue enough to anchor a room the way a navy would, green enough to feel alive against wood, brass and raffia. At LRV 14.7 it is a genuinely dark color, and that darkness is where its elegance lives: it recedes, it flatters everything placed against it, and it never looks like a color that is trying.
