Starless Night

PPU14-20

Starless Night by Behr is a dark, cool-toned color with a muted purple base and strong blue-gray undertones, placing it near the indigo portion of the spectrum. Its LRV of 27.8 means it absorbs significant light, giving it weight and depth on surfaces. The low saturation prevents it from reading as overtly purple, instead presenting as a dark neutral with a cool cast, commonly applied to accent walls or exterior doors.

It coordinates with Behr Silver Drop for light contrast, Behr Smoky White for trim, Behr Cracked Pepper in tonal dark schemes, and Behr Aged Beige as a warm counterpoint.
