Benjamin Moore

Dark Purple

2073-10

Dark Purple by Benjamin Moore is a deep, blackened plum that leans neither fully warm nor fully cool, sitting at a controlled balance between red and blue pigments. With an LRV of 5.7, it reflects very little light and will read nearly black in dimly lit conditions. It functions best as an accent or in small, contained spaces where its density can be appreciated up close.

Balboa Mist and Stone Harbor offer neutral contrast, while Chantilly Lace and Creamy White provide sharper separation. These pairings help the plum undertone remain legible.
