Benjamin Moore

Amethyst Sky

1447

Amethyst Sky by Benjamin Moore is a medium mauve with purple and gray undertones that give it a muted, subdued quality. It has an LRV of 31.96, placing it in the mid-range of light reflectance, so it reads as a moderately dark tone on walls without making a room feel closed in. This shade works well in bedrooms and living rooms where a quieter wall color is needed.

It coordinates naturally with Benjamin Moore colors like Edgecomb Gray, Classic Gray, Hale Navy, Wrought Iron, and Whispering Spring across trim, cabinetry, or adjacent walls.
