Black Knight

2136-10

Black Knight is a very dark black with blue undertones. With an LRV of 4.76, it absorbs most light and reads near-black. It suits dining rooms, offices, or feature walls where a cool dark is needed.

Chantilly Lace and Gray Owl provide crisp contrast, while Blue Dusk and Soft Jazz echo the blue tone. Yellow Hibiscus or Tomato Tango can add a controlled warm accent.
