Benjamin Moore

Sleepy Hollow

1454

Sleepy Hollow is a muted violet-gray sitting at an LRV of 27.94, which places it in the lower-medium range where it absorbs a noticeable share of light. The dominant undertone is purple, tempered by a gray base that keeps the color restrained rather than saturated. Under warm lighting it can pull slightly mauve, while cooler sources emphasize the violet character.

Revere Pewter and Classic Gray provide warm neutral contrast without competing with the purple tone. Hale Navy offers a deep complementary pairing, Silver Fox extends a cool tonal range, and Kendall Charcoal works for darker accent elements.
