Benjamin Moore

Wet Concrete

2114-40

Wet Concrete (2114-40) is a deep mauve-purple from Benjamin Moore with smoky gray undertones that lend it neutral versatility. It registers an LRV of 27.45, placing it in the lower-middle reflectance range and producing a moderately dark appearance on walls. The gray base restrains the mauve-purple character, allowing it to function as a tonal neutral rather than a distinctly chromatic color.

Within Benjamin Moore, it pairs with Misty Gray, Silver Satin, Hale Navy, Evening Gown, and Shadow. Its dual warm-cool reading shifts depending on surrounding light temperature.
