Benjamin Moore

Burnt Ember

CSP-120

Burnt Ember is a dark gray with subtle neutral undertones. With an LRV of 15.5, it reads quite dark and can reduce reflectance on large walls. It is useful for media rooms, bedrooms, or accent walls where low glare is preferred.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore White Dove and Revere Pewter for lighter balance. Hale Navy, Hunter Green, or Classic Gray provide deeper or adjacent options. In mixed lighting, the undertone remains visible and the color does not wash out.
