Benjamin Moore

Persian Violet

1419

Persian Violet by Benjamin Moore is a mid-toned violet distinguished by pronounced blue undertones that shift it away from red-purple toward a cooler, twilight-like range. Its LRV of 35.25 provides moderate reflectance, making it suitable for bedrooms, sitting rooms, or transitional spaces where a noticeable color presence is desired without excessive darkness. The blue influence keeps it from reading warm or mauve, instead maintaining a clearly cool cast.

Benjamin Moore's Iced Mauve and Violet Mist offer analogous pairings for a tonal violet scheme, Newburyport Blue deepens the cool direction, and Silver Satin or Classic Gray serve as lighter neutral balances.

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
