Benjamin Moore

Wizard

CC-966

Wizard (BM) is a dark blue-violet with cool undertones, carrying an LRV of 8.44 and a hex value of #40466D. The low LRV confirms its deep absorption of light, and the hex value shows a stronger blue component relative to red, placing it firmly in the blue-violet segment. Within Benjamin Moore's catalog, it pairs with Chantilly Lace, White Dove, Hunter Green, Amethyst Shadow, and Grape Juice.

The saturated blue-violet composition distinguishes it from neutral darks and positions it as a chromatic deep-tone option.
