What color is Benjamin Moore Black Satin?

Benjamin Moore Black Satin 2131-10 is a deep charcoal-black with a restrained cool gray cast. Its near-neutral color value keeps it from reading as flat pure black, especially in bright daylight where the softened gray character becomes more visible. In lower light, this shade settles into an inky, near-black finish that gives walls, cabinetry, or interior doors clear definition. Pair Black Satin with pale warm whites, natural oak, brushed brass, or honed stone to bring out contrast without making the room feel stark. It is especially effective on a fireplace surround, built-ins, a powder room, or exterior trim where a dark architectural edge is wanted.

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 4.58%, 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.
