Benjamin Moore

Midsummer Night

2134-20

Midsummer Night is a deeply saturated dark brown-black that carries violet and warm brown undertones, distinguishing it from cooler charcoals. With an LRV of 7.79, it reflects very little light and reads almost black in low-light conditions, though the violet-brown character surfaces under direct or natural light. It sits within Benjamin Moore's Color Preview collection.

For contrast, it pairs well with Swiss Coffee (OC-45) and Misty Gray (2124-60), while Stone Harbor (2111-50) and Blue Lake (2053-40) provide mid-tone coordination that draws out its warmer brown side.

Midsummer Night 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.
