What color is Benjamin Moore After Midnight?

Benjamin Moore After Midnight CSP-630 is a deep charcoal gray with a clear cool blue cast that keeps it from reading flat or black. Its low-value, muted appearance gives walls a grounded, enveloping look, especially in studies, dining rooms, and bedrooms with ample natural light. In brighter daylight, the blue-gray undertone becomes more noticeable; under warm evening lamps, it can settle into a near-black charcoal. Use it on cabinetry, interior doors, or a fireplace surround when you want contrast without the sharpness of pure black. Crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, aged brass, and soft gray-beige textiles provide effective counterpoints.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 6.01%, 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.
