Deep Caviar

2130-20

Deep Caviar is a dark neutral with distinct chocolate and plum undertones that shift depending on light source. It registers an LRV of 7.09, meaning it absorbs a significant amount of light and reads as near-dark in most settings. This color is appropriate for studies, dining rooms, or feature walls where low reflectance is acceptable.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore White Dove or Edgecomb Gray for strong tonal contrast. Benjamin Moore Mauve Desert offers an analogous complement, while Salamander provides a deep green coordination option.
