What color is Benjamin Moore Black Pepper?
Benjamin Moore Black Pepper 2130-40 is a medium-depth blue-gray with a muted, slightly smoky cast. Its cool blue presence is most noticeable in daylight or north-facing rooms, while warm artificial lighting can bring its gray side forward. Use it on a study, bedroom, or built-in cabinetry when you want color that has definition without reading overly dark. Black Pepper pairs well with soft off-whites, charcoal accents, pale stone, warm oak, and aged brass hardware. On an exterior, it can make a restrained statement on shutters or a front door against lighter siding.

LRV of Black Pepper
Black Pepper has an LRV of 21.12% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 21.12%, 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.
