Benjamin Moore

Nightfall Sky

CC-38

Nightfall Sky by Benjamin Moore is a muted purple carrying a noticeable gray modifier that tones down its chromatic intensity. With an LRV of 15.49, it falls on the darker side of mid-tones, creating a subdued, low-key atmosphere on walls. The gray content prevents it from reading as overtly purple, making it more workable in living rooms, bedrooms, and study areas than a purer violet would be.

Its cool undertone is most apparent under daylight. Coordinating options from Benjamin Moore include Winter Gray, Violet Mist, Simply White, Dark Harbor, and Blue Note, covering both analogous and contrasting pairings.
