What color is Benjamin Moore Blacktop?
Benjamin Moore Blacktop 2135-10 is a deep charcoal gray with a faint cool, green-gray cast that keeps it from reading as a flat black. In bright natural light, its subtle variation is easier to notice, while evening light pushes it closer to near-black. It gives cabinetry, interior doors, and built-in shelving a grounded, architectural look without the starkness of pure black. Pair it with pale warm whites, light oak, brushed brass, or honed stone to bring out its restrained gray character. On exterior trim or a front door, Blacktop creates a strong contrast against lighter siding or masonry.

LRV of Blacktop
Blacktop has an LRV of 5.94% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 5.94%, 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.
