Silver Shores Technical Profile

What color is Dutch Boy Silver Shores (430-2DB)? It's a light cool gray — hex #C8D2D3, LRV 63. The closest cross-brand equivalent to Silver Shores is Dunn-Edwards Mount Sterling — a near-identical match on the wall, with Benjamin Moore Palace Pearl and PPG Sky Splash also close. At LRV 63, Silver Shores sits in the comfortable mid-light range — bright enough for living areas yet soft enough for bedrooms, and adaptable across most lighting conditions. As a cool neutral, Silver Shores pairs with cool whites for trim, gray-toned or rift-cut oak floors, and brushed nickel or polished chrome hardware. Black accents and natural greenery add contrast. As a lighter neutral, Silver Shores works as a whole-room or trim color and keeps adjoining colors reading clean — pair it with crisper whites a step brighter than itself so the trim still separates. Cool neutrals hold their crisp quality under 4000K+ daylight bulbs. Under 2700K warm light they soften considerably — particularly true for any blue or green undertone. Lighter neutrals reveal their undertone most, so Silver Shores can swing warmer under 2700K bulbs and cleaner under 4000K daylight — sample it against your trim before committing.
