Benjamin Moore

Kalamata

AF-630

Kalamata is a dark violet with subdued red undertones that ground it in a warm, plum-adjacent range. At an LRV of 11.31, it absorbs most light and reads as a heavy, enveloping tone that demands deliberate lighting consideration. The red influence prevents it from feeling cold or purely purple, pulling it toward a muted berry character.

Classic Gray or White Dove provide necessary lightness for trim and ceilings. Hawthorne Yellow introduces complementary contrast, while Aegean Teal offers a cooler counterpoint. Mauve Mist bridges toward it in softer transitional pairings.
