What color is Benjamin Moore Ebony King?
Benjamin Moore Ebony King 2132-20 is a deep charcoal that sits just above black, with a subtle cool gray cast visible in brighter light. Its low-value depth gives walls a strong, defined backdrop without reading as completely flat or pitch-black. In sunlit rooms, Ebony King can show its smoky graphite character, while evening light makes it appear darker and more ink-like. Use it on cabinetry, interior doors, a library wall, or exterior trim where a crisp dark contrast is wanted. Pair this shade with clean white paint, pale oak, brushed nickel, concrete, or muted blue-gray textiles.

LRV of Ebony King
Ebony King has an LRV of 5.69% 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 5.69%, 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.
