Benjamin Moore

Deep Mulberry

2069-10

Deep Mulberry is an ultra-dark violet that approaches black, with cool violet undertones detectable primarily in strong direct light. It has an LRV of 5.36, making it one of the darker options available, absorbing nearly all incident light. In dimly lit spaces it will read close to black, while brighter conditions reveal its violet base.

It is best used on accent walls, in libraries, or dining rooms where a dark surround is desired. Pair it with Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace, White Dove, Midnight Navy, Gray Cashmere, or Pale Oak for tonal range.
