Benjamin Moore

Asphalt

CC-548

Asphalt is a deep charcoal gray with neutral undertones that read neither warm nor cool in most interior lighting. At an LRV of 21.27 it absorbs a substantial amount of light, so rooms using it on all walls generally need strong natural or layered artificial light to avoid feeling closed in. Pairing it with Chantilly Lace on trim and ceilings creates a sharp light-dark boundary, while Revere Pewter on adjacent walls provides a softer step down.

For coordinated depth, Hale Navy works on cabinetry or doors, and Forest Green on accents introduces a complementary dark tone.
