Benjamin Moore

Exotic Purple

2071-10

Exotic Purple is a deep violet with both blue and red undertones contributing to its intensity. At an LRV of 5.46, it absorbs most available light and will make walls appear dark and enclosed, so adequate artificial lighting is recommended. It functions well as an accent wall color or in smaller rooms where a concentrated effect is intended.

For balance, pair it with Benjamin Moore White Dove or Revere Pewter. Analogous options like Silver Fox or Mauve Mist will produce a tonal scheme without sharp contrast.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
