Bible Black

Bible Black is a theatrical near-black

With a subtle plum undertone, Bible Black adds drama to kitchens, staircases, and exterior doors without the harshness of true black. It behaves like velvet on walls and cabinetry, especially under low lighting.

Pair it with Brinjal or Pelt for layered jewel tones, and keep ceilings fresh with Strong White.

Testing dupes & finishes

Dark shades reveal surface flaws, so sand and prime thoroughly. Sample your dupe to ensure the colour reads purple-black rather than flat charcoal. Satin or gloss makes doors and cabinetry gleam; estate emulsion keeps walls velvety.

Layer lighting—picture lights, sconces, candles—to bring out the depth and prevent the colour from swallowing detail.

Where Bible Black excels

Use it on statement bookcases, media walls, stair balusters, or a dramatic front door. It also looks incredible on kitchen islands paired with marble and unlacquered brass hardware.
