Silver Swordplay

Silver Swordplay Technical Profile

What color is PPG Silver Swordplay (30BB 45/049)? It's a medium cool gray — hex #B0B4BE, LRV 46. The closest cross-brand equivalent to Silver Swordplay is Valspar A Month of Sundays — a near-identical match on the wall, with Dutch Boy Feathered and Valspar Streamlined Gray also close. Its LRV of 46 gives Silver Swordplay 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 Swordplay 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 Swordplay 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 Swordplay holds its character across bulb temperatures, shifting only slightly warm under 2700K and slightly crisper under cool daylight.
