Benjamin Moore

Dreamy

1425

Dreamy is a muted purple with a noticeable blue undertone that shifts it toward the cool side of the violet spectrum. With an LRV of 37.44, it falls in the medium reflectance range and will read as a definite color statement on walls. The blue component keeps it from appearing overly warm or mauve.

It is appropriate for bedrooms, living rooms, and creative workspaces. Pair it with Benjamin Moore Simply White or Swiss Coffee to offset the coolness. Sea Haze provides an analogous muted option, and Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal offer strong value contrast.
