Benjamin Moore

Mountain Ridge

1456

Mountain Ridge is a deep, muted purple-brown with notable gray and mauve undertones that keep it grounded rather than overtly violet. With an LRV of 12.91, it absorbs most ambient light and reads as a dark, warm neutral in low-lit spaces, though its purple cast becomes more apparent under bright or natural light. The gray base lends it a smoky quality distinct from purer plum tones.

It pairs well within the Benjamin Moore catalog alongside Mountainscape (870) for a light-dark contrast, Steam (AF-15) as a clean backdrop, Herb Bouquet (460) for a muted green complement, and Jute (AF-80) for tonal warmth.
