Sherwin-Williams Nocturne (SW 9520) is a deep, moody brown-gray with subtle olive and bronze undertones. With an LRV of 8, this dark neutral acts as a dramatic, earthy anchor that brings sophisticated warmth to cabinets, accent walls, and exterior trim.
Benjamin Moore Black (2132-10 / HC-190) is a deeply saturated, classic true black with an LRV of 4.56. Because its RGB values are nearly identical, it acts as a stark, anchoring neutral with only the faintest microscopic blue undertone, keeping it crisp rather than muddy in cool lighting.
