Benjamin Moore

Autumn Purple

2073-20

Autumn Purple is a deep plum with an LRV of 7.39, placing it at the low end of the reflectance scale and giving it a notably dark, saturated read on walls. The hue combines purple and red undertones that shift slightly depending on ambient light temperature. In cooler daylight it leans more violet, while warm artificial light draws out its reddish base.

For contrast, pairing it with Chantilly Lace or Silver Satin on trim and ceilings helps offset its depth. Raspberry Glaze and Deep Rose work as transitional accent colors in the same warm-to-cool range.
