Sherwin Williams

Black Fox

SW 7020

Black Magic (#323132) is a near-black neutral with subtle cool undertones and an LRV of 3, reflecting minimal light. A gray component in its formulation keeps it from appearing as absolute black, lending a faint softness that prevents it from looking overly stark on large surfaces. It functions primarily as a high-contrast anchor or accent color.

Sherwin-Williams Alabaster and Shoji White are effective pairing choices for offsetting its depth, while Urbane Bronze and Anew Gray provide mid-tone warm transitions in a coordinated scheme.

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.
