Classic Silver vs Soft Truffle
Where Classic Silver belongs to Behr's range, Soft Truffle is a Dulux color. Classic Silver reads as grey, while Soft Truffle reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Classic Silver (LRV 48) reflects noticeably more light than Soft Truffle (LRV 42), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Classic Silver runs yellow while Soft Truffle is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 8.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Classic Silver vs Soft Truffle in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Classic Silver and Soft Truffle are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The brightness difference is modest but present — Classic Silver gives the walls a little more lift.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Classic Silver reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Dining Room
A dining room lit by a dimmed pendant or candles is one of the most forgiving environments for paint — warm light softens almost everything. Classic Silver has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. Classic Silver reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

Classic Silver vs Soft Truffle Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Classic Silver on one side and Soft Truffle on the other.
Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
