What color is Benjamin Moore Notre Dame?

Benjamin Moore Notre Dame CSP-570 is a deep charcoal gray with a subtle cool cast that keeps it from reading flat or black. Its low-light value gives walls a grounded, architectural look, while daylight can reveal a faint blue-green lean in the gray. Notre Dame is especially effective on cabinetry, interior doors, built-ins, or a dining room where a darker finish feels intentional. Pair it with crisp off-whites, pale concrete tones, brushed nickel, black metal, and light oak for clear contrast. In a room with limited natural light, use it alongside lighter walls or warm wood to prevent the overall scheme from becoming too shadowy.

LRV of Notre Dame

Notre Dame has an LRV of 7.57% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 7.57%, 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.
