Benjamin Moore

Grappa

1393

Grappa is a deep violet with black undertones, creating a concentrated purple that leans cool on most surfaces. Its LRV of 8.66 indicates low light reflectance, making it appropriate for accent walls, studies, or dining rooms where depth is desired. The black influence prevents it from reading as bright purple, instead offering a muted, dense appearance.

This color coordinates with Benjamin Moore Mulberry Wine and Grape Juice for analogous schemes. Lighter neutrals like Gray Owl or Moonshine provide necessary contrast, while Chantilly Lace can serve as a crisp trim color.
