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.
