Benjamin Moore

Deep Mauve

1265

Deep Mauve is a muted mauve with distinct warm brown undertones that temper the pink-purple base. It has an LRV of 19.88, placing it in the medium-dark range with moderate light absorption. The brown undertone prevents it from reading overtly pink, giving it a grounded, earthy quality under most lighting conditions.

It is suitable for bedrooms, dining rooms, and other enclosed spaces. For coordinated schemes, pair it with Benjamin Moore Mauve Mist, Wild Orchid, Nimbus Gray, or Hale Navy to balance warmth against cooler accents.
