Iron Ore comes in with a WHOPPING LRV of 6, so it's certainly not the blackest black out there, but it's thinking about it. For example, Sherwin Williams Tricorn Black has an LRV of 3. TRUE BLACK is 0; however, in the paint world, we don't have access to that, with our blackest options coming in around 2.5. Iron Ore is on the shutters.
