Benjamin Moore

After Midnight

CSP-630

After Midnight by Benjamin Moore is a deep blue-black with cool undertones that read slightly navy rather than pure black. With an LRV of 6.01 it reflects very little light, so it will make any surface it covers appear darker and more enclosed. This makes it a practical choice for accent walls, front doors, exterior shutters, or cabinetry where a near-black with some color depth is wanted.

It pairs with Benjamin Moore Simply White or White Dove for high contrast, and sits well alongside Hale Navy, Gray Owl, and Kendall Charcoal.

After Midnight in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
