Benjamin Moore

Black Pepper

2130-40

Black Pepper is a dark blue-gray with cool undertones. An LRV of 21.12 places it in a mid-dark range, so it reads strong without turning black. It works in living rooms, bedrooms, or studies where a cool gray-blue is needed.

Chantilly Lace and White Dove keep contrast crisp, while Coventry Gray and Silver Mist build a layered cool palette. Caliente or Golden Honey can add a warm counterpoint.
