Benjamin Moore

Magic Potion

1250

Magic Potion is a muted mauve-gray with an LRV of 40.41, landing in the mid-tone range. Red undertones warm the base noticeably, pulling it away from a straight cool purple and into a territory that can read as a dusty rose-gray depending on surrounding colors and light temperature. Under cooler daylight it leans more clearly lavender, while warm artificial light draws out the pink.

It harmonizes with Gossamer Blue and Dreamy Cloud, gains definition against deeper shades like Secret Garden or Hale Navy, and layers well with Ballet White or Bone White.
