Silver Night Blue

47%LRV Value

Silver Night Blue reads as crisp and architectural — strong in modern spaces, with natural fixed elements (chrome, stone, glass), or as a quiet anchor. At LRV 47 it carries real depth without going dark — a good choice for accent walls, libraries, and rooms with abundant natural light. Skip it if you want a cozy, warm room — cool neutrals can feel sterile under warm bulbs or in low light.

Silver Night Blue Technical Profile

What color is PPG Silver Night Blue (10BB 47/077)? It's a medium cool neutral — hex #AEB7C5, LRV 47. The closest cross-brand equivalent to Silver Night Blue is Dutch Boy Taboo Blue — a near-identical match on the wall, with Valspar Misty Morning Dew and Valspar Courtyard Shadow also close. Its LRV of 47 gives Silver Night Blue depth without going dark, which makes it a strong choice for accent walls, libraries, and rooms with abundant natural light. As a cool neutral, Silver Night Blue 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. At mid depth, Silver Night Blue grounds a space without darkening it — it holds up on lower walls, kitchen islands, and as a wraparound where a lighter neutral would feel washed out. 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. At mid depth Silver Night Blue holds its character across bulb temperatures, shifting only slightly warm under 2700K and slightly crisper under cool daylight.
