Benjamin Moore

Nightfall

1596

Nightfall by Benjamin Moore is a deep, blackened gray with neutral undertones that keep it from leaning strongly warm or cool. At an LRV of 8.3, it sits in the very low reflectance range and absorbs most available light, making it appropriate for accent walls or spaces designed around a dark palette such as media rooms and studies. Its neutral gray base gives it broad compatibility with both warm and cool adjacent colors.

For coordinated schemes, Benjamin Moore's White Dove, Pale Oak, Hale Navy, Silver Half Dollar, and Gray Cashmere offer pairing options from high contrast to tonal.

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.
