Benjamin Moore

Artichoke

2141-10

Artichoke is a near-black shade with warm green undertones and an LRV of 9.01, which means it absorbs the vast majority of light and will darken a room substantially. The green base becomes visible mainly in direct light or when placed next to a true black for comparison. It requires careful lighting design to avoid flattening wall texture in lower-light conditions.

Black Forest Green and Night Horizon are tonal neighbors that can be layered for depth in millwork or accent details. White Dove and Pale Oak provide the high-value contrast necessary for trim and ceiling definition.
