Benjamin Moore

Pinch of Spice

1449

Pinch of Spice is a deep, muted purple-brown with warm undertones that can read more brown in low light. Its LRV of 14.58 makes it a dark shade that absorbs light and increases contrast with white trim. It works best in bedrooms, dining rooms, or as an accent wall where darker color is acceptable.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore White Dove or Classic Gray for trim and nearby neutrals. For stronger contrast, Hale Navy or Salamander adds depth, and First Light can provide a lighter, related accent.
