In a room
Where this color can work
Polished Silver can give a compact office, modern bedroom, or bath a distinctly cool gray foundation. The blue direction makes white fixtures appear crisp, but it may compete with cream tile or orange-toned wood. Strong cool daylight can deepen that contrast. Test the color near mirrors and glossy surfaces, which bounce surrounding hues back onto the wall, and compare it under task lighting before deciding that the daytime appearance represents the finished room.
