Benjamin Moore

Night Shade

2116-10

Night Shade by Benjamin Moore is a deep color formed by layering violet into a black base, producing a shade that leans cool and reads as near-black in low light. With an LRV of 6.07, it reflects very little light and is best used in contained areas such as bedrooms, powder rooms, or accent walls where its violet undertone can be appreciated at close range. The cool cast separates it from warmer dark neutrals and becomes more visible under daylight or cooler artificial light.

It pairs effectively with Benjamin Moore's Silver Marlin, Iceberg, Chantilly Lace, Revere Pewter, and Dark Harbor.
