What color is Benjamin Moore Abyss?
Benjamin Moore Abyss 2128-20 is a deep charcoal gray with a restrained blue cast visible in its #42444B color value. It reads cool and weighty rather than black, retaining enough softness to show detail across a wall or cabinet door. In bright daylight, the blue-gray undertone may become more noticeable, while lower light gives it a near-black, mineral-like appearance. Use Abyss on built-in cabinetry, an office wall, or a dining room accent for definition without the starkness of true black. Pair it with pale gray-white trim, light oak, brushed nickel, or warm leather to bring contrast to its cool depth.

LRV of Abyss
Abyss has an LRV of 7.37% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 7.37%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
