Benjamin Moore

Mink Violet

1252

Benjamin Moore Mink Violet (1252) is a muted violet-brown with an LRV of 15.92, placing it in the darker portion of the mid-tone range. Gray undertones temper the violet, while traces of red and brown add warmth and keep the color from skewing toward pure purple. It shifts between mauve and taupe depending on the light source.

It pairs with the lighter warmth of Hint of Violet (2114-60), the deeper grounding of Desert Shadows (2114-30), the neutral contrast of Antique Pearl (2113-70), and the rich base of Incense Stick (2115-20).
