What color is Benjamin Moore Black Panther?

Benjamin Moore Black Panther 2125-10 is a deep charcoal that sits close to black while retaining a visible soft-gray cast. Its nearly neutral character keeps it from reading overly warm, and brighter daylight reveals more of its smoky depth. On walls, Black Panther can ground a dining room, study, or media room without creating the flat effect of a pure black. It also makes a strong choice for cabinetry, interior doors, or exterior trim paired with crisp whites, pale greiges, natural oak, black metal, and honed stone. In dim rooms, this color will appear especially dark, so sheen and surrounding light finishes can help define its surface.

LRV of Black Panther

Black Panther has an LRV of 6.51% 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 6.51%, 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.
