Benjamin Moore

Faded Violet

CSP-455

Faded Violet is a soft, muted purple carrying subtle blue undertones that push it toward a cooler reading on the wall. Its LRV of 29.18 places it in the medium-dark range, absorbing a fair amount of light while still maintaining visible color identity. The blue shift keeps the purple from appearing overly warm or red-based.

It pairs well with Benjamin Moore White Dove or Classic Gray for a lighter counterpoint. Chelsea Gray and Kendall Charcoal add darker contrast, and Beach Glass provides a cool-toned companion.
