Benjamin Moore

Deep Space

2125-20

Deep Space is a near-black with subtle blue undertones that distinguish it from a pure or warm-leaning black. It registers an LRV of 10.8, confirming its position as a very low-reflectance color that will absorb most light in a space. It is best applied to accent walls or trim where controlled contrast is needed, and it requires strong lighting to prevent it from appearing flat.

The blue cast becomes more apparent next to true neutrals. Pair it with Benjamin Moore Gray Owl, Silver Half Dollar, White Dove, Chantilly Lace, or Golden Straw.

Deep Space 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.
