Wrought Iron
Benjamin Moore
2124-10
Wrought Iron is the soft black designers use when true black would be too harsh: a very dark charcoal with a subtle blue-green undertone that keeps it velvety. It is a go-to for front doors, kitchen islands, accent walls, and exteriors, and it reads as a gentle near-black rather than a void. Against white trim it gives high contrast without severity.

Is Wrought Iron warm or cool?
Wrought Iron is cool, though softly so. Its blue-green undertone is subtle enough that most people read it simply as a muted black. With an LRV of approximately 7, it absorbs nearly all light, so sheen and texture matter more than light direction at this depth. In bright sun it reveals its charcoal side; in shadow it reads black. It is more forgiving than true black on large surfaces like exteriors.
Why does Wrought Iron look different on screen than on the wall?
Screens emit light while paint reflects it, so a hex code cannot capture how lighting, sheen, and surrounding colors shift paint in a real room. Treat #494A4B as accurate for digital design work, and use physical samples for final approval.
What LRV does Wrought Iron have?
Wrought Iron has a Light Reflectance Value of approximately 7, meaning it reflects about 7% of visible light. That low value makes it a dramatic, light-absorbing choice that works well with strong natural light or as an accent.
