Benjamin Moore

Cupid's Dart

1385

Cupid's Dart is a mid-depth purple from Benjamin Moore with noticeable red undertones that push it toward a warm, plum-adjacent range. Its LRV of 17.05 gives it enough absorption to feel substantial on walls without being overly dark. The red influence softens what might otherwise read as a cooler violet, lending it broader compatibility with warm-toned interiors.

It pairs well with Revere Pewter and Classic Gray as grounding neutrals, while Lavender Mist or Violet Mist extend its purple range. Hale Navy provides a strong complementary contrast.
