What color is Benjamin Moore Midsummer Night?
Benjamin Moore Midsummer Night 2134-20 is a deep, muted charcoal-brown with a distinctly softened, earthy cast. Its #504A45 value reads nearly black in low light, while daylight brings out its warm gray and subtle brown undertones. Use this shade on a study, dining room, or bedroom wall when you want definition without the starkness of pure black. Midsummer Night also has enough depth for painted cabinetry, interior doors, or a fireplace surround. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, linen, and clay-toned accents to support its grounded character.

What are Benjamin Moore Midsummer Night undertones?
Midsummer Night is a very deep, low-saturation near-black that reads primarily as a softened charcoal with a brown cast. In the supplied digital sample, the color direction is subtle, so any undertone is difficult to state with confidence; it shows a slight warm, orange-leaning bias rather than a strong distinct hue. Benjamin Moore describes it as a black hue with violet-brown tones, which suggests a brown-violet influence within its overall dark neutral character rather than a clearly purple appearance. Warm artificial light may bring forward its softer brownish warmth, while cool daylight can make it read more charcoal and neutral.

LRV of Midsummer Night
Midsummer Night has an LRV of 7.79% 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 7.79%, 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.
