Benjamin Moore

North Cascades

1411

North Cascades by Benjamin Moore is a gentle violet with cool purple undertones that register as soft and restrained rather than saturated. With an LRV of 55.09, it falls in the light-to-mid-tone range, reflecting enough light to keep rooms open while still delivering visible color. The cool temperature and muted chroma make it a functional option for bedrooms and creative workspaces where a calm, focused atmosphere is useful.

It pairs naturally with Benjamin Moore Soft Chinchilla and Violet Mist for tonal cohesion, Classic Gray and Chantilly Lace for neutral grounding, and Amazon Moss for a contrasting green accent.
