Benjamin Moore

Cheating Heart

1617

Cheating Heart is a deep charcoal gray with a neutral base and subtle cool undertones. With an LRV of 8.79, it reads very dark and absorbs light on full walls. It suits accent walls, offices, or cabinetry where a strong neutral is required.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace or Simply White for crisp contrast. Nimbus or Silver Mist soften the palette, while Gloucester Sage or Spanish Red add muted color.
