Benjamin Moore

Night Owl

CC-662

Night Owl by Benjamin Moore is a deep, earthy dark tone grounded in a blend of black, gray, and warm brown-neutral undertones. Its LRV of 10.07 places it firmly in the low-reflectance range, so it absorbs significant light and reads as a heavy, saturated color on walls. It functions well on accent walls, in home offices, or in bedrooms where a dark, grounded backdrop is appropriate.

The warm brown cast distinguishes it from cooler dark grays. Compatible Benjamin Moore colors include Black Beauty, Deep River, Classic Gray, Simply White, and Tate Olive, supporting both tonal and high-contrast pairings.
