Benjamin Moore

Purple Easter Egg

2073-50

Purple Easter Egg is a pastel purple from Benjamin Moore with soft, slightly warm undertones. Its LRV of 46.3 places it at moderate brightness, meaning it adds noticeable color without making a room feel dark. It is suitable for nurseries, guest bedrooms, and reading areas where a subdued accent color is needed.

The warmth in its base prevents it from appearing too icy under cool lighting. It works alongside neutrals like White Dove and Classic Gray for balance, while Hale Navy or Hunter Green provide deeper contrast. Lavender Mist and Violet Mist extend its tonal range in analogous pairings.
