Benjamin Moore

Deep Indigo

1442

Deep Indigo is a dark blue-violet with cool undertones and a noticeable black cast. It has an LRV of 8.26, meaning it absorbs most ambient light and reads as a near-dark neutral in lower-lit rooms. The blue-violet base shifts slightly cooler under daylight and more neutral under incandescent sources.

This color works well on accent walls, in bedrooms, or dining areas where a low-light effect is intended. Pair it with Benjamin Moore Gray Owl, Classic Gray, Chantilly Lace, Lemon Grass, or Edgecomb Gray to manage contrast and balance.
