Benjamin Moore

Spring Violet

2117-50

Spring Violet reads as a dusty, grayed-out purple that stays quiet on the wall without tipping into blue or pink. Its LRV of 42.87 places it in the lower-middle range of light reflectance, so it absorbs a fair amount of light and will appear noticeably deeper in rooms with limited natural exposure. The gray undertone is dominant, which prevents the violet from feeling saturated or heavy.

It coordinates well with Benjamin Moore Silver Fox and Gray Owl as neutral companions, while Evening Blue provides a tonal contrast, and Chantilly Lace works as a clean, high-contrast trim white.
