Black Sapphire reads as a relaxed deep, muted warm gray, shaped by its lavender undertones. With an LRV of 27, it grounds a space with quiet intensity, working beautifully in dens, master bedrooms, and formal dining rooms. Benjamin Moore offers Blackberry as an extremely close match, while PPG's Black Flame is also very similar. It pairs well with crisp whites for contrast and warm metallics like brass or gold for cohesion.
