Benjamin Moore

Kasbah

AF-640

Kasbah (AF-640) is a deep plum gray carrying warm, slightly mauve undertones that keep it from reading as a straightforward purple. At an LRV of 17.22, it absorbs a significant amount of light and reads as rich and enveloping on walls, particularly in rooms with limited natural light. The warmth in its base allows it to pair naturally with lighter neutrals like Ballet White or Shaker Beige, while deeper shades such as Black Forest Green or Newburyport Blue provide strong contrast.

For a tonal scheme, Amethyst Shadow sits comfortably alongside it.
