Benjamin Moore

Darkest Grape

2069-30

Darkest Grape is a deep purple with noticeable indigo undertones that push the hue toward blue in certain lighting conditions. It registers an LRV of 13.09, placing it firmly in the low-reflectance range and making it a strong, saturating presence on any surface. The indigo influence adds a cooler dimension that prevents it from reading as a warm plum.

It works alongside Benjamin Moore's White Dove, Classic Gray, Hale Navy, and Charcoal Slate. This shade suits accent walls and smaller spaces where a dark, concentrated color is the goal.
