Benjamin Moore

Violet Petal

1382

Violet Petal from Benjamin Moore is a powdery, mid-range violet with a soft, desaturated quality. Its LRV of 54.32 places it at a moderate light-reflectance level, bright enough to avoid heaviness while dark enough to register clearly as a tinted color on walls. The undertones lean cool without sharp blue bias, keeping the violet balanced.

It works alongside Benjamin Moore White Dove, Silver Cloud, Newburyport Blue, Hale Navy, and April Showers in both contrasting and analogous arrangements. Appropriate for bedrooms, sitting areas, and other spaces where a visible but understated violet is desired.
