Benjamin Moore

Orleans Violet

1374

Orleans Violet by Benjamin Moore is a light tint that blends lavender and pink undertones into a soft, cool-leaning pastel. Its Light Reflectance Value of 67.51 means it reflects a considerable amount of light, making it practical for bedrooms, reading areas, or living rooms where a quiet, restful tone is needed. The pink undertone prevents it from reading too blue, keeping the overall impression slightly warm.

It pairs effectively with Benjamin Moore's Pleasant Pink, Spring Iris, Gray Owl, White Heron, and Black Raspberry, allowing both tonal harmony and deeper contrast within a single scheme.
