What color is Benjamin Moore Shadow?
Benjamin Moore Shadow 2117-30 is a deep, muted charcoal with a noticeable violet cast, reflected in its cool, blue-purple base. Its low saturation keeps the color from reading overly purple, so it can appear nearly charcoal in dim rooms while showing more plum-gray character in clear daylight. Use Shadow on a study, bedroom wall, or dining room to create definition without the hard contrast of true black. It also has enough depth for cabinetry or an interior door, especially alongside warm oak, brushed brass, cream textiles, and pale gray-white trim. In a room with cool northern light, this shade will tend to feel darker and more blue-violet.

LRV of Shadow
Shadow has an LRV of 6.7% 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 6.7%, 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.
