What color is Sherwin Williams Black of Night?
Sherwin Williams Black of Night SW 6993 is a deep charcoal that reads as nearly black while retaining a subtle cool gray cast. Its faint blue-gray lean becomes more noticeable in daylight or near crisp white trim, while low light makes it appear darker and more ink-like. Use Black of Night on an accent wall, built-in shelving, cabinetry, or a front door when a standard black would feel too stark. It pairs well with soft off-whites, pale gray-blue walls, natural oak, brushed nickel, and matte black hardware. In larger rooms, good lighting helps preserve the color’s charcoal detail rather than letting it recede into a flat black.

LRV of Black of Night
Black of Night has an LRV of 3.64% 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 3.64%, 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.
