Benjamin Moore

Magic Potion

1250

Magic Potion is a muted mauve-gray with an LRV of 40.41, landing in the mid-tone range. Red undertones warm the base noticeably, pulling it away from a straight cool purple and into a territory that can read as a dusty rose-gray depending on surrounding colors and light temperature. Under cooler daylight it leans more clearly lavender, while warm artificial light draws out the pink.

It harmonizes with Gossamer Blue and Dreamy Cloud, gains definition against deeper shades like Secret Garden or Hale Navy, and layers well with Ballet White or Bone White.

Magic Potion 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.
