What color is Benjamin Moore Twilight Zone?

Benjamin Moore Twilight Zone 2127-10 is an exceptionally deep charcoal that sits close to black, with a nearly neutral cast. In bright daylight, its soft graphite character is easier to see, while evening light can make it appear almost black. Use Twilight Zone on cabinetry, interior doors, built-ins, or a single wall when you want clear contrast without the starkness of pure black. It pairs cleanly with crisp white trim, pale greige walls, light oak, brushed nickel, and natural stone. On larger walls, ample lighting and lighter furnishings help preserve the color’s subtle charcoal detail.

LRV of Twilight Zone

Twilight Zone has an LRV of 5.11% 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 5.11%, 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.
