Silver

2026 Paint PaintZOP1131-34

Silver is Zoffany’s restrained grey, lifted with a soft warmth that keeps it from feeling stark. In the 2026 Paint range, it sits neatly between pale stone and worked silver.

About this colour

This shade reads as a calm, slightly warm grey with a gentle beige note, so it feels settled rather than icy on the wall. It reflects light well enough to keep a room open, but it still holds its own in larger spaces without looking bright or chalky. In a north-facing room it will lean cooler and more stone-like, while in south-facing light the warmth comes forward and the colour looks softer and more inviting. It works especially well beside deeper charcoal, walnut, oak and muted upholstery colours, where its quiet tone gives those finishes room to speak. In Acrylic Eggshell, Elite Emulsion or True Matt, it stays composed and useful across walls or woodwork.

How to use it

Silver suits sitting rooms, bedrooms and hallways where a calm backdrop is needed for timber joinery and tailored upholstery. It pairs particularly well with oak, ebonised wood, slate-grey details and understated linen or velvet in warm neutrals.

A balanced grey with warmth, Silver sits quietly on the wall and lets neighbouring finishes stand out.

Silver is a wall colour, so these are the cloths that sit against it: one of them on the curtains, the paint behind. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.
