Benjamin Moore

Jester

CC-34

Jester (LRV 6.87) is a deep plum with cool blue-red undertones that place it firmly in the purple-brown family rather than among warmer burgundies. Its very low reflectance means it will absorb most available light, producing a dense, saturated appearance even on small surfaces. The cool bias keeps it from reading as muddy in artificial light.

It pairs well with Benjamin Moore's Swiss Coffee and Classic Gray as lighter counterpoints, and takes contrast from Forest Green or Newburyport Blue in schemes that use deep, cool-toned color throughout.

Jester in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

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.
