Benjamin Moore

Victorian Mauve

2114-50

Victorian Mauve (Benjamin Moore) is a grayed-down purple that leans toward a muted, dusty lilac rather than a vivid violet. With an LRV of 48.07, it occupies the middle of the reflectance scale, reading as a true mid-tone that neither brightens nor darkens a room significantly. The heavy gray content suppresses the purple's intensity, keeping the overall impression quiet and neutral-adjacent.

It pairs well with Benjamin Moore's White Dove, Revere Pewter, Kendall Charcoal, Hale Navy, and Balboa Mist for layered neutral or tonal combinations.
