Benjamin Moore

Carolina Plum

1384

Carolina Plum is a medium-deep purple with warm undertones and a subtle red bias. With an LRV of 27.22, it reads substantial and will darken in low light. It fits accent walls or dining rooms where a deeper hue is appropriate.

Benjamin Moore White Dove or Simply White help control contrast, while Mauve Mist and Ballerina Pink keep a related range. Essex Green or Concord Ivory can be used for stronger, earthy balance.
