Mulberry Wine

1251 / CC-6

Mulberry Wine is a muted, mid-tone purple-mauve with gray undertones that soften and desaturate what might otherwise be a more vivid berry tone. With an LRV of 27.95, it reflects a moderate amount of light and reads as a dusty, restrained purple rather than a bold one. The gray component gives it a smoky quality, while a subtle rose cast emerges in warmer lighting conditions.

Benjamin Moore suggests pairing it with Acorn Yellow (2161-40) for a warm complementary accent, Powder Sand (2151-70) as a light neutral backdrop, Nordic Gray (CC-576) for tonal depth, and Yellow Freeze (2020-70) to brighten adjacent surfaces.

Mulberry Wine 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.
