As a deep, neutral gray, Black brings a adaptable energy through its very balanced undertones. With an LRV of 24, it provides a flexible foundation that pairs well with both warm and cool accent colors. The closest cross-brand match is Benjamin Moore's Black, a near-identical match. Kilz's True Black is another strong alternative. Balance its cool character with warm neutrals on adjacent surfaces, or embrace the chill with blue-gray accents.
