# Behr Black

Source: [https://plan-home.com/color/behr-black](https://plan-home.com/color/behr-black)

Behr Black BLACK is a deeply shaded charcoal-black with a near-neutral cast rather than an inky blue or brown appearance. At #3f3f3e, it reads as softened black in most settings, retaining a small amount of gray that keeps broad surfaces from looking completely void-like. Bright daylight can bring out its charcoal quality, while dim rooms and evening lighting make it appear closer to true black. Use it for cabinetry, interior doors, fireplace surrounds, or a focused accent wall where a strong dark anchor is wanted. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, brushed brass, concrete, or light gray stone for clear contrast.
