Benjamin Moore

Elderberry Wine

CSP-470

Elderberry Wine is a deep red with prominent purple undertones. At an LRV of 7.18, it reads very dark and absorbs most ambient light, making it best suited for accent walls or smaller rooms such as dining areas, libraries, or bedrooms. Its density requires careful balance with lighter tones.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore White Dove or Swiss Coffee to offset its depth. For tonal contrast, Salamander or Gentleman's Gray works well, while First Light provides a softer analogous complement.
