Benjamin Moore

Violet Stone

2069-40

Violet Stone from Benjamin Moore is a medium purple with soft blue-violet undertones that give it a cooled, slightly muted character. Its LRV of 29.35 indicates moderate-to-low light reflectance, producing a noticeable depth on walls without reading as dark. The blue-violet bias separates it from warmer plum or mauve shades, keeping the tone firmly in the cool spectrum.

It coordinates with Benjamin Moore Gray Owl, Classic Gray, Hale Navy, Kendall Charcoal, and Pale Oak, working in both neutral-anchored and tone-on-tone palettes. Suited for living rooms, bedrooms, and creative workspaces.
