What color is Benjamin Moore Deep River?
Benjamin Moore Deep River 1582 is a deep, low-saturation charcoal with a faint green-gray cast. Its near-neutral balance keeps it from reading strongly green, though that subtle earthy note can become more noticeable beside crisp white trim or warm natural wood. In bright daylight, Deep River tends to appear like a softened blackened gray, while lower light brings out its darker, more grounded character. It is well suited to cabinetry, interior doors, library walls, or an exterior accent where a true black might feel too stark. Pair it with creamy off-whites, pale stone, brushed brass, walnut, and warm oak for contrast without losing its muted character.
LRV of Deep River
Deep River has an LRV of 7.82% 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 7.82%, 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.
