Benjamin Moore

Super Nova

1414 / CC-990

Super Nova is a dark amethyst with cool violet undertones that give it depth without brightness. With an LRV of 9.53, it absorbs most light and reads as a near-dark accent color. It is best suited for bedrooms, studies, or controlled feature applications.

The undertones remain consistent in low light. It pairs well with Benjamin Moore Stonington Gray and Gray Owl, while Hale Navy and Hunter Green add richness.
