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.
