Unveiling Elegance: Benjamin Moore's Top Black Shades for Timeless Sophistication

Black: It's bold, versatile, and undeniably chic. Embracing the deep allure of black paint can transform any space from mundane to mesmerizing. But choosing the perfect shade of black is where the true artistry lies. At Ricciardi Brothers, with our proud association with Benjamin Moore across New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware, we've handpicked the crème de la crème of black hues to elevate your interiors.

  1. "Black Panther" (2125-10)

Capturing the velvety depth of the night, "Black Panther" offers a rich intensity that brings an instant luxurious touch. It's the ultimate choice for those looking to make a statement.

  1. "Raccoon Fur" (2126-20)

Don't let the playful name deceive you. "Raccoon Fur" is a sophisticated gray-black with cool undertones. This shade provides depth without being overpowering, making it an excellent choice for accent walls or cabinetry.

  1. "Onyx" (2133-10)

True to its namesake gemstone, "Onyx" showcases a deep, pure black with a subtle hint of warmth. Whether used for exteriors, front doors, or feature walls, this shade promises to command attention.

  1. "Iron Mountain" (2134-30)

Navigating the spectrum between black and gray, "Iron Mountain" is a versatile charcoaled hue. Its muted undertones make it particularly fitting for modern minimalist spaces and industrial designs.

  1. "Deep Space" (2125-20)

Embarking on a cosmic journey, "Deep Space" offers a softer approach to black with its profound blue undertones. It’s ideal for those wanting a dramatic ambiance without delving into the abyss of pure black.

  1. "Black Ink" (2127-20)

As the name suggests, this shade embodies the richness and depth of a well of ink. "Black Ink" is perfect for those seeking to introduce a sleek, contemporary edge to their interiors.

Complementing Black in Interiors:

- Contrast with Whites: Pairing black with crisp whites, like Benjamin Moore's "Simply White" or "Chantilly Lace," can create a classic monochromatic scheme.

- Warm It Up: Incorporate wooden elements, beiges, and tans to add warmth and prevent spaces from feeling too stark.

- Metallic Accents: Gold, brass, or silver accessories can elevate a black-themed room, adding a touch of opulence.

Benefits of Choosing Black:

- Versatility: Black is a neutral that can fit into almost any design scheme, from modern to rustic.

- Depth & Focus: Black naturally draws the eye, making it great for highlighting specific architectural features or focal points.

- Timelessness: While trends come and go, the elegance of black remains unfaltering.


Black, often associated with luxury and sophistication, can transform spaces into realms of depth and drama. Whether you're considering an accent wall, a bold front door, or an entire room, Benjamin Moore's palette of blacks, available at Ricciardi Brothers, promises unparalleled elegance.
