Benjamin Moore

Angel's Wings

1423

Angel's Wings by Benjamin Moore is a pale violet with a cool blue undertone that keeps it from reading as purely purple. With an LRV of 58.4 it falls in the moderate range for light reflectance, providing enough brightness for bedrooms and nurseries without washing out wall detail. The blue shift gives it a slightly cooler feel than most lavenders.

It works alongside other Benjamin Moore colors like White Opulence, Pale Oak, Hale Navy, Kendall Charcoal, and Lavender Mist for palettes ranging from soft and tonal to more defined contrast.

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.
