Benjamin Moore

Black Satin

2131-10

Black Satin is a very dark black with a slight cool undertone. Its LRV of 4.58 keeps it near-black in most light. It works on trim, doors, or accent walls where a clean black is required.

Chantilly Lace and Simply White provide crisp contrast, while Hale Navy and Salamander add saturated companions. Kendall Charcoal keeps a tonal dark range.

Black Satin in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
