Benjamin Moore

Cabernet

2116-30

Cabernet is a deep violet with cool undertones. Its LRV of 12.66 places it in the very dark range, so it reads saturated. It works on feature walls, dining rooms, or low-light spaces where a dark color is desired.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace or Simply White for high contrast. Grape Juice, Purple Haze, or Aegean Teal can be used as related accent colors. In north-facing light, the undertone stays cool and the shade can read deeper.
