What color is Benjamin Moore Carbon Copy?
Benjamin Moore Carbon Copy 2117-10 is a near-black charcoal with a subtle softened violet-gray cast. Its low-light depth gives walls a grounded, enveloping look, while daylight can reveal the gentle variation behind its dark surface. Use it for a dramatic dining room, library, powder room, or built-in cabinetry where a true deep shade feels appropriate. Carbon Copy pairs well with warm white trim, pale greige walls, natural oak, aged brass, and tactile materials such as linen or matte stone. On an exterior, it can read almost black, making it best suited to doors, shutters, or carefully considered accent details.

LRV of Carbon Copy
Carbon Copy has an LRV of 5.33% 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 5.33%, 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.
