What color is Benjamin Moore Lampblack?
Benjamin Moore Lampblack CW-695 is a medium-depth gray with a quiet, lightly cool cast that keeps it from reading flat or brown. Its balanced value gives it enough presence for a full wall treatment while remaining softer than charcoal. In bright daylight, this shade can look clean and gently silvery; under warmer artificial light, it settles into a calmer, more muted gray. Use Lampblack on cabinetry, interior doors, or a study wall alongside crisp white trim, pale oak, black metal, and linen upholstery. It also provides a grounded exterior accent for shutters or a front door when paired with lighter neutral siding.

LRV of Lampblack
Lampblack has an LRV of 23.24% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 23.24%, 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.
