Benjamin Moore

Oriental Iris

1418

Oriental Iris by Benjamin Moore is a pale blend of purple and blue that reads as a cool, muted lavender-blue. It has a Light Reflectance Value of 51.97, giving it moderate reflectivity suited to bedrooms, bathrooms, or transitional spaces where a calm atmosphere is the goal. The blue undertone is more prominent than the purple, which prevents it from feeling overly warm.

It coordinates well with Benjamin Moore's White Dove, Horizon, Hale Navy, Breath of Fresh Air, and Lavender Mist, supporting both tonal and contrasting color arrangements in cool-leaning palettes.
