Witching Hour (Benjamin Moore, #46494F) is a deep charcoal black with a noticeable blue undertone that separates it from a pure neutral black. At an LRV of 8.71, it absorbs most ambient light, producing a dense, saturated appearance on walls and trim. The blue cast gives it a cooler reading than warm-based blacks, particularly under daylight or fluorescent lighting.

Chantilly Lace provides maximum contrast as a pairing white, while Silver Marlin and Smoke echo its blue undertone at lighter values. Caliente or Golden Straw introduce targeted warm accents against its cool base.
