What color is Benjamin Moore In the Midnight Hour?

Benjamin Moore In the Midnight Hour 1666 is a deep, muted blue-gray with a noticeable slate character. Its low saturation keeps the color grounded and smoky rather than bright, while the blue-green lean becomes more apparent in clear daylight. In dimmer rooms, this shade can read closer to charcoal blue, giving walls a quiet sense of depth without looking black. Use it on a study, dining room, bedroom, or built-in cabinetry with warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, and natural linen to offset its cool cast. For a stronger contrast, pair In the Midnight Hour with soft cream walls and warm terracotta or cognac leather accents.

LRV of In the Midnight Hour

In the Midnight Hour has an LRV of 10.17% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 10.17%, 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.
