What color is Benjamin Moore Raccoon Fur?
Benjamin Moore Raccoon Fur 2126-20 is a deep charcoal gray with a subtly cool, blue-gray cast visible in its #464A4D color value. Its dark depth gives walls a grounded, enveloping look, particularly in studies, dining rooms, and bedrooms with ample natural light. In brighter conditions, the gray reads clearer and slightly cooler; at night, it settles into a near-black charcoal without appearing flat. Use Raccoon Fur on cabinetry, interior doors, or an accent wall with crisp off-whites, pale grays, weathered oak, black metal, and brushed nickel.

What are Benjamin Moore Raccoon Fur undertones?
Raccoon Fur is a very deep, low-saturation near-neutral that reads primarily as charcoal gray, with a subtle blue direction in the supplied digital color. Its blue bias is restrained enough that it may appear almost black or simply dark gray in many settings rather than distinctly blue. Benjamin Moore describes it as a slightly lighter black with a hint of inky blue, which fits its visibly dark neutral character and faint cool-blue cast. Warm artificial light can soften or mute that blue cast, while cool daylight may make the gray-blue direction easier to notice.

LRV of Raccoon Fur
Raccoon Fur has an LRV of 8.28% 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 8.28%, 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.
