Crocus Petal Purple

2071-40

Crocus Petal Purple is a medium-toned purple with both blue and red undertones contributing to its visual depth. At an LRV of 27.95, it absorbs more light than it reflects, reading as a moderately saturated mid-dark shade on walls. It suits bedrooms, living rooms, and creative workspaces where a grounded purple is appropriate.

Benjamin Moore's Amethyst Shadow and Lavender Mist are natural analogous companions, while Cloud White provides a clean contrast. Pairing it with Shaker Beige or Forest Green introduces warmth or earthiness to the overall scheme.
