Witching Hour

2120-30

Witching Hour (BM) is a deep charcoal black with blue undertones, measured at an LRV of 8.71 with hex #46494F. The low LRV indicates minimal light reflectance, making it read as a near-black in low-light conditions while revealing its blue-gray character under direct light. It coordinates within Benjamin Moore's range with Chantilly Lace, Silver Marlin, Smoke, Caliente, and Golden Straw.

The blue undertone differentiates it from pure carbon blacks, and its depth suits applications where strong visual weight and low reflectance are required.
