Benjamin Moore

Purple Lotus

2072-30

Purple Lotus by Benjamin Moore is a deep, smoky plum with cool gray undertones that sits firmly on the darker end of the spectrum at an LRV of 10.25. This low light reflectance means the color absorbs most ambient light, producing a dense, enveloping effect well suited to dining rooms, studies, or reading alcoves where a contained atmosphere is appropriate. It works within traditional and eclectic interiors and pairs naturally with Benjamin Moore's Mauve Mist, Heather Plum, Dove Wing, Nimbus Gray, and Pale Oak to balance its depth with lighter neutral counterpoints.
