Benjamin Moore

Charmed Violet

1398

Charmed Violet is a saturated violet with cool undertones and a clear chroma. With an LRV of 24.34, it reads mid-dark and stays strong on large surfaces. It fits creative rooms, bedrooms, or accent walls where a bold purple is needed.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore Snowfall White or Whispering Spring to soften the palette. Spring Iris or Boudoir keep it tonal, while Midnight Navy or Forest Hills Green add contrast.

Charmed Violet 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.
