Benjamin Moore

Plum Royale

2070-20

Plum Royale by Benjamin Moore is a dark, heavily saturated purple carrying subtle blue undertones, with an LRV of 6.38. At this low reflectance level, it absorbs most ambient light, producing a dense, enclosed feel suited to dining rooms, bedrooms, or studies where visual weight is desired. The blue shift in its base distinguishes it from warmer plums, lending it a cooler reading under natural light.

It coordinates effectively with Lavender Mist and Violet Dusk for tonal continuity, while Chantilly Lace or Kendall Charcoal provide high-contrast framing options for trim and accent surfaces.
