Silver (#C0C0C0) is a light neutral shade that appears across 19 master palettes in our corpus, most prominently in the work of Vasily Polenov, Eugene Boudin, and Vasily Surikov and the Realism tradition. Master painters paired it most often with Raisin black (#242124), Khaki (#C3B091), and Platinum (#E5E4E2). The combination forms a pale, paper-and-plaster chord, pairs with restrained, near-neutral companions that let the source carry the chord, with a moderate step down in value that keeps the source forward.
