Benjamin Moore

Victorian Purple

1370

Victorian Purple (Benjamin Moore) is a medium-saturation violet with balanced red and blue undertones that produce a classic purple reading without strong bias in either direction. Its LRV of 34.72 places it in the mid-range, where it will read as a distinctly colored tone with moderate depth. The warmth from the red side keeps it from appearing cold, while the blue prevents it from shifting toward mauve.

Compatible Benjamin Moore colors include Classic Gray, Balboa Mist, Kendall Charcoal, Chantilly Lace, and Mauve Mist, covering both high-contrast and analogous options.
