Benjamin Moore

After the Rain

1452

After the Rain by Benjamin Moore is a soft, muted purple with a gray undertone that tones down its warmth considerably. Its LRV of 49.66 puts it near the middle of the reflectance scale, meaning it will not darken a room noticeably but will still register as a definite color on the wall. The gray cast keeps it from looking overly sweet, which makes it usable in bedrooms, hallways, and living areas.

It coordinates with Benjamin Moore Gray Owl and Silver Half Dollar for a tonal gray-purple scheme, and contrasts well with Kendall Charcoal, Hale Navy, and Wythe Blue.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
