In real rooms
Every room, each colorThe difference
Read from the numbersTundra is the lighter of the two at LRV 77.07, 1.8 points above Silver Satin at LRV 75.3. Tundra leans cool where Silver Satin reads warm. Both belong to the whites family. For a whole room, Tundra is the safer, more forgiving choice thanks to its higher LRV, while Silver Satin is the bolder pick.
How they read
In their own wordsTundra is the off-white for people who find most whites too creamy. Its LRV of 77 puts it in soft-white territory, but the base is a cool, faintly green-blue grey, so it reads clean and quiet rather than warm. On plaster mouldings and in rooms with a lot of daylight it looks like fresh air.
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.
