Benjamin Moore

Eggplant

1379

Eggplant is a deep aubergine purple with red undertones that prevent it from reading too cool or too blue. It has an LRV of 10.83, making it a low-light-reflectance color that will create substantial visual weight on any surface. This shade is best applied to accent walls, dining rooms, or smaller rooms where a dark, concentrated color is appropriate.

It requires adequate artificial or natural light to avoid appearing overly dark. Pair it with Benjamin Moore Manchester Tan, Chantilly Lace, Hale Navy, Ballet White, or Mauve Mist.
