Benjamin Moore

Deep River

1582

Deep River is a dark, cool-toned color that blends green, gray, and black undertones into a densely saturated finish. Its LRV of 7.82 means it absorbs significant light and functions best in rooms with ample natural or artificial illumination. The green undertone is subtle but distinguishable from a straight charcoal.

It works alongside Benjamin Moore Gray Owl, White Dove, Guilford Green, Chestertown Buff, and Nimbus Gray. Lighter gray or off-white pairings from the same line provide necessary contrast against this deep shade.
