A classic deep, neutral gray, Black gets its personality from a nearly neutral base. With an LRV of 20, it works as a versatile whole-home neutral for living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways. For a Sherwin-Williams alternative, Black Magic is a near-identical match. It pairs beautifully with warm wood tones to offset its coolness, or with silver and chrome for a polished look.
