1440

Irises is a mid-toned violet with blue-gray undertones, creating a cooler, more muted purple tone. The LRV of 26.16 indicates moderate light absorption, giving the color noticeable depth suited for accent applications or rooms where a subdued richness is desired. The blue-gray influence shifts this violet toward a neutral direction.

This shade works alongside Benjamin Moore's Silver Mist, Gray Cashmere, Hale Navy, Kendall Charcoal, and Lemon Sorbet, accommodating both cool-toned schemes and high-contrast pairings.
