Benjamin Moore

Amethyst Cream

2071-50

Amethyst Cream by Benjamin Moore is a light purple with cool violet undertones and an LRV of 46.44, placing it in the mid-range where it provides noticeable color without darkening a room significantly. The cool base keeps it from reading pink, giving it a distinctly lavender-leaning character. It is well suited to bedrooms, nurseries, and home offices where a low-saturation accent color is useful.

Benjamin Moore's Lavender Mist and African Violet offer tonal companions in the same purple family, while Classic Gray and Simply White handle trim, and Hale Navy provides a strong contrast on doors or furniture.
