What color is Benjamin Moore Black Berry?

Benjamin Moore Black Berry 2119-20 is a deep, near-black charcoal with a subtle cool blue-gray cast. Its low-light value gives walls a dense, shadowy look, while brighter daylight can reveal the restrained slate tone beneath the darkness. Use it on a study, media room, or dining room wall when you want strong contrast without the absolute flatness of pure black. It also suits cabinetry, interior doors, and trim paired with pale grays, soft white, weathered oak, or brushed nickel. In rooms with limited natural light, this color will read especially dark, so warm wood and lighter textiles help keep the scheme from feeling too heavy.

LRV of Black Berry

Black Berry has an LRV of 6.16% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect light. Why LRV is important?

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 6.16%, 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.
