About Kompozit black paint colors
What Kompozit's Black Colors Actually Look Like
Most of the colors in this slice are not pure jet black. With LRVs running from 2.4 at the darkest up to 9.4 at the lightest, this is a family of deep, near-black shades with quiet color hiding inside them. Pleasant Hill (0459) at 9.4 LRV is the softest of the group, while the bottom of the range gives you the kind of saturated, true dark that reads black on a wall.
The undertones are what make these worth a closer look. Names like Green Column (0466), Clover Patch (0431), and Dark River (0494) hint at the green and blue casts that show up in real light. Deep Space (0487) and Evermore (0557) lean cooler and more neutral, so the deck gives you a working range rather than one flat black.
How to Choose Within This Slice Using LRV
LRV, or light reflectance value, tells you how much light a color bounces back. Every Kompozit color publishes one, and in this black family the numbers run from 2.4 to 9.4. The lower the number, the darker and more dramatic the result, and the more it will swallow light in a room.
For a true blacked-out look on cabinets, a front door, or an accent wall, stay near the bottom of the range. If you want depth without going fully dark, step up toward Subway (0536) at 5.9 or Oyster Catch (0585) at 7.1. The lightest options like Pleasant Hill (0459) at 9.4 behave more like a deep charcoal and stay easier to live with in a smaller space.
Best Rooms and Uses for These Blacks
Deep colors do their best work where you want contrast and a sense of focus. A black front door, a fireplace wall, built-in shelving, or kitchen island cabinetry are all strong uses for the darker end of this slice. These shades also make trim, doors, and window sashes look sharp and intentional.
In rooms with plenty of natural light, you can use a black on full walls without the space feeling closed in. North-facing or low-light rooms will read even moodier, so lean toward the higher-LRV picks like Green Column (0466) or Oyster Catch (0585) there, or save the very darkest shades for a single accent.
Pairing Black With Trim, Ceiling, and Coordinating Colors
A clean white trim is the simplest, most reliable partner for any of these blacks. The high contrast crisps up edges and keeps a dark wall from feeling heavy. If you want a softer, more enveloping look, paint the trim the same black as the wall so the room reads as one quiet volume.
Undertone is your guide for coordinating colors. A green-leaning pick like Clover Patch (0431) sits well with warm woods, brass, and muted greens, while a cooler shade like Deep Space (0487) pairs with crisp whites, grays, and blue accents. For ceilings, a bright white keeps a dark room from feeling low, while a matching dark ceiling makes a small den or powder room feel cocooned on purpose.
How Kompozit Colors Are Sold and Cross-Matched
Kompozit is CompositePaint's featured partner deck, and every color in it is mixed to order rather than sitting on a shelf as a fixed product. That means you pick the color first, then have it tinted to that exact formula when you buy. Because each color carries a published LRV, you can sort and compare the whole black family by how light or dark it really is before you commit.
Kompozit lives in the same browse-and-match system as the national brands, not a separate walled-off catalog. So you can line a color like Dark River (0494) or Evermore (0557) up against blacks from other US brands, compare them side by side, and cross-match in either direction. If you already have a favorite black from another brand, you can find the closest Kompozit match, or go the other way and match a Kompozit pick to whatever your local store stocks.
Kompozit black paint — frequently asked questions
Are Kompozit's black colors actually pure black?+
Not all of them. The family spans an LRV range of 2.4 to 9.4, so the lightest picks like Pleasant Hill (0459) read closer to a deep charcoal, while the darkest end gives you a true blacked-out look. Most of these shades carry a subtle green, blue, or neutral undertone rather than being a flat jet black.
What LRV should I pick for a black accent wall?+
For a dramatic, fully dark accent wall, choose from the lower end of the range, closer to 2.4. If you want depth but a little more life, step up toward Subway (0536) at 5.9 or higher. Remember that low-light rooms make any black read darker, so go a notch lighter there if you are unsure.
Which trim color works best with these blacks?+
A bright white trim is the easiest and most dependable choice, since the contrast keeps edges crisp and stops the dark from feeling heavy. For a softer, more enveloping look, paint the trim the same black as the walls. Match your coordinating colors to the undertone, warm tones for green-leaning blacks and crisp neutrals for cooler ones.
How are Kompozit colors sold?+

Can I match a Kompozit black to another brand's color?+
Yes. Kompozit sits in the same browse-and-match system as the national brands, so you can compare a color like Dark River (0494) or Deep Space (0487) against blacks from other US brands.
