Benjamin Moore

Ebony King

2132-20

Ebony King is a deep black from Benjamin Moore with an LRV of 5.69, meaning it absorbs a significant amount of light. It carries subtle gray undertones that keep it from reading as a pure, warm black, lending it a cooler neutral quality. This shade is suitable for accent walls, cabinetry, and trim in contemporary or minimalist settings.

It coordinates well with Benjamin Moore Gray Owl, Stonington Gray, and Revere Pewter for tonal balance. Caliente or Aegean Teal can be used for stronger chromatic contrast.
