Benjamin Moore

Black Horizon

2132-30

Black Horizon is a cool black with subtle blue undertones. Its LRV of 7.91 is low, so it reads dark but not fully black in brighter light. It works for feature walls, doors, or trim where a cool dark is needed.

Chantilly Lace and Decorator's White keep contrast crisp, while Silver Half Dollar and Nimbus Gray create a cool neutral range. Caliente or Golden Retriever add a warm counterpoint.
