About Twilight Zone

Twilight Zone (2127-10) is a true black from Benjamin Moore with almost no visible undertone. With an LRV of 3, Twilight Zone absorbs most light. It creates a dramatic, enveloping look and suits accent walls, cabinetry and well-lit rooms.

Because its undertone is so subtle, Twilight Zone stays fairly consistent between north- and south-facing rooms. It's a good fit for accent walls, front doors, cabinetry and powder rooms. It's very close to Space Black (2119-10); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.

How Twilight Zone changes with the light

Twilight Zone is a deep color. In north-facing or dim rooms it reads darker and cozier; in south-facing rooms it shows more of its color. Either can work, depending on the mood you want.

N

North-facing rooms

Twilight Zone will read even deeper in north light: great for a cozy, enveloping room, less so if you want it bright.

E

East-facing rooms

Twilight Zone will look warmer and brighter in the morning and cooler and grayer by afternoon; check a sample at both times.

S

South-facing rooms

South light keeps Twilight Zone from feeling heavy, so deep colors work well here.

W

West-facing rooms

Twilight Zone looks cool in the morning and warms up in the golden late-afternoon light.
