Benjamin Moore

Queen's Wreath

1426 / CC-950

Queen's Wreath by Benjamin Moore is a smoky plum with noticeable indigo undertones, registering an LRV of 23.8. This places it in the medium-to-low reflectance range, where it reads as a muted, dusty purple-blue rather than a saturated violet. The indigo shift gives it a cooler lean than typical plum shades, making it functional in living rooms, bedrooms, and transitional spaces that benefit from controlled depth.

It coordinates with Benjamin Moore's Night Shade, Mysterious, Balboa Mist, Revere Pewter, and French Lilac across both tonal and contrasting applications.
