Benjamin Moore

Black Berry

2119-20

Black Berry is a near-black with a faint violet undertone. Its LRV of 6.16 gives it a very dark appearance. It works in bedrooms, dining rooms, or accent walls where a cool black is desired.

White Dove and Gray Owl keep contrast crisp, while Shadow and Hale Navy emphasize the violet-blue range. Caliente or Coral Reef can introduce a controlled warm contrast.
