What color is Benjamin Moore Burnt Ember?

Benjamin Moore Burnt Ember CSP-120 is a deep, low-saturation gray with a subtle warm cast rather than a sharp blue or black appearance. Its near-even red, green, and blue balance gives it a softened charcoal look that can read slightly taupe in warm light. In brighter rooms, Burnt Ember feels like a grounded mid-to-dark neutral; under lower light, it takes on more visual weight and depth. Use it on an office wall, dining room cabinetry, or an exterior door where a dark neutral is wanted without the starkness of true black. Pair this shade with creamy whites, pale stone tones, natural oak, matte black hardware, or aged brass for a restrained, material-focused palette.

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 15.5%, 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.
