Benjamin Moore

Dark Lilac

2070-30

Dark Lilac is a muted purple with cool undertones that keep it from reading as overly warm or red-shifted. Its LRV of 10.44 places it in the low-reflectance range, producing a dense, absorptive quality on surfaces. The muted saturation distinguishes it from brighter violets, giving it a restrained presence.

Gray Owl and Balboa Mist work well as lighter neutral companions, while Hale Navy provides a deep tonal pairing. Lavender Mist and French Violet can extend a purple-based scheme without sharp contrast.
