Benjamin Moore

Space Black

2119-10

Space Black carries an LRV of 4.98, making it a deep, light-absorbing near-black that reads largely neutral with no strong color lean. Close inspection reveals a faint cool cast, but in application it behaves as a straightforward black. It is well suited for trim, doors, and accent surfaces where maximum contrast is required.

Pairing it with White Dove or Chantilly Lace produces a clean, high-contrast scheme, while Kendall Charcoal and Chelsea Gray can serve as transitional mid-tones, and Hale Navy introduces tonal depth nearby.

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.
