What color is Benjamin Moore Deep Caviar?
Benjamin Moore Deep Caviar 2130-20 is a deep charcoal with a restrained warm cast, reading softer than a true blue-black. Its low-light value gives walls a grounded, enveloping look, while brighter daylight can reveal the faint brown-red warmth within the gray. Use it on a dining room, den, or powder room for depth without making the finish feel stark. Deep Caviar is also well suited to cabinetry, interior doors, and built-in shelving, especially alongside creamy off-whites, pale oak, aged brass, or matte black hardware.

LRV of Deep Caviar
Deep Caviar has an LRV of 7.09% 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 7.09%, 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.
