Benjamin Moore

Ultra Violet

1372

Ultra Violet from Benjamin Moore is a mid-depth purple with cool undertones that carry a slight dusty quality, softening its overall saturation. Its LRV of 12.78 places it in the darker portion of the spectrum, where it absorbs most available light and reads as a rich, muted violet. The dusty cast keeps it from appearing overly bright or synthetic on the wall.

It contrasts sharply with Benjamin Moore's Chantilly Lace and Decorator's White, while Shadow and Frosted Plum offer tonal neighbors for a layered monochromatic approach. Kendall Charcoal provides a neutral dark companion.

Ultra Violet in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
