Benjamin Moore

Notre Dame

CSP-570

Notre Dame by Benjamin Moore is a deep gray with subtle blue-green undertones that give it a distinctly cool cast. With an LRV of 7.57, it falls into the very low reflectance range, absorbing most light and reading as a near-dark tone on walls. This makes it appropriate for accent walls, smaller rooms where a dramatic backdrop is intended, or spaces with strong natural or artificial lighting to offset its depth.

It coordinates well with Benjamin Moore Gray Owl, Classic Gray, Hale Navy, Simply White, and Salamander, each of which can provide necessary lightness or complementary depth.

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.
