Benjamin Moore

Pale Iris

2073-60

Pale Iris by Benjamin Moore is a light purple with distinct violet and pink undertones that produce a lively, crisp character despite its soft appearance. It registers an LRV of 63.61, meaning it reflects a moderate-to-high amount of light and can help rooms feel open without washing out wall detail. This shade works well in bedrooms, living areas, and creative workspaces where a subtle color presence is preferred over a stark neutral.

It coordinates naturally with Benjamin Moore Violet Mist, Pink Bliss, and White Dove, and gains depth when placed alongside darker tones such as Hale Navy or Royal Purple.
