Benjamin Moore

Amethyst Shadow

1441 / CC-930

Amethyst Shadow by Benjamin Moore is a dark violet-gray with an LRV of 18.29, making it a low-reflectance color that absorbs a significant amount of light. The gray undertone tempers the violet, so it reads more as a muted, dusty purple than a vivid one. It is well suited to accent walls, bedrooms, and smaller rooms where a darker envelope effect is intended.

Benjamin Moore's Stonington Gray provides a lighter neutral counterpoint, Chantilly Lace works for crisp white trim, and Hunter Green, Mauve Mist, or Venetian Pink each pair naturally without competing for attention.

Amethyst Shadow in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

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.
