Benjamin Moore

Sultan's Palace

2081-20

Sultan's Palace is a saturated red with a lipstick profile and mixed undertones. Its LRV of 15.11 places it in the dark range, making it most effective as an accent or feature color. It holds warmth without leaning orange.

The color works well in dining rooms or statement spaces. Sultan's Palace pairs cleanly with Benjamin Moore White Dove and Chantilly Lace, while Moroccan Red and New London Burgundy reinforce its depth. Neutral trims help control its intensity.
