Benjamin Moore

Purple Hyacinth

2073-40

Purple Hyacinth from Benjamin Moore is a pink-tinged mauve with warm undertones that give it a rosy cast. At an LRV of 28.2, it sits in the lower-moderate range, absorbing enough light to feel substantial on walls without becoming heavy. This shade works in bedrooms and living areas where a muted, warm color is appropriate.

The pink influence separates it from cooler mauves and gives it a softer quality under warm lighting. It pairs cleanly with White Dove and Gray Owl for contrast, while Hale Navy and Charcoal Slate anchor it in deeper schemes. Lavender Mist extends its tonal family.
