Benjamin Moore

Black Iron

2120-20

Black Iron is a cool black with a slight blue-gray cast. An LRV of 6.12 keeps it very dark on walls. It suits accent walls, doors, or trim where a cool black is needed.

Chantilly Lace and Gray Owl brighten adjacent surfaces, while Blue Note and Salamander build a saturated palette. Kendall Charcoal can be used for a tonal dark pairing.
