Benjamin Moore

Sanctuary

AF-620 / 1446

Sanctuary is a muted purple-gray with an LRV of 41.85, positioning it as a midtone that neither dominates with darkness nor washes out in bright light. Its violet undertones are subdued enough that the color can function as a gray alternative, though the purple becomes more apparent next to true neutrals. It shifts slightly cooler under fluorescent lighting.

Benjamin Moore Edgecomb Gray and Revere Pewter offer warm neutral contrast, while Silken Pine provides a soft green complement. Kendall Charcoal deepens the scheme for accent use, and Soft Chinchilla sits in a close tonal range for layered applications.
