Benjamin Moore

Black Bean Soup

2130-10

Black Bean Soup is a deep black with brown undertones. Its LRV of 6.1 is very low, so it reads dark and heavy on walls. It suits dining rooms, studies, or cabinetry where a warm black is needed.

Pure White and Cedar Key provide light balance, while Texas Leather and French Press keep a tonal brown range. Caliente or Newburg Green can be used for contrast.

Black Bean Soup 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.
