What color is Benjamin Moore Cheating Heart?
Benjamin Moore Cheating Heart 1617 is a deep charcoal gray with a near-neutral, slightly cool cast visible in its #4B4D4F color value. In bright daylight, it reads as a clear dark gray, while lower or warmer light can make it appear almost black. This shade gives kitchen cabinetry, interior doors, and built-in shelving defined contrast without introducing a strong color undertone. On walls, it is best suited to rooms with ample natural light or used as a deliberate accent behind pale furnishings. Pair Cheating Heart with crisp white trim, light oak, brushed nickel, black metal, or soft stone finishes for a clean, grounded look.

LRV of Cheating Heart
Cheating Heart has an LRV of 8.79% 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 8.79%, 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.
