Benjamin Moore

Violet Sparkle

1422

Violet Sparkle from Benjamin Moore is a pastel lilac with gray undertones that reduce its saturation and lend a neutral quality. With an LRV of 68.65, it reflects a high proportion of light, keeping rooms open and bright while still providing discernible color. The gray base prevents the lilac from reading as overly sweet or juvenile, making it suitable for adult living spaces as well as nurseries.

It pairs well with Benjamin Moore White Dove, Gray Owl, Kendall Charcoal, Hale Navy, and Spring Lilac across a range of contrast levels.

Violet Sparkle 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.
