French Violet combines the depth of a light, warm blue with rosy undertones for a soft effect. With an LRV of 58, it reflects a comfortable amount of light, making it a versatile choice for living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways. For a cross-brand equivalent, Sherwin-Williams's Brave Purple is an extremely close match. Benjamin Moore's Snugglepuss runs close as well. It pairs well with crisp whites for contrast and warm metallics like brass or gold for cohesion.
