Benjamin Moore

Southern Belle

819

Southern Belle is a deep ultramarine blue with a purple undertone, registering an LRV of 11.62. At this low reflectance, the color absorbs most ambient light and reads as notably dark on walls, particularly in rooms with limited natural light. The violet cast separates it from a standard navy and gives it a cooler, more chromatic quality.

White Dove and Swiss Coffee function effectively as high-contrast trim pairings. Coastal Path offers a lighter blue for transitional areas, while French Lilac picks up the purple undertone. Night Shade can serve as a near-tonal dark companion.
