Both warm and nuanced, Royal Velvet is a deep, muted warm gray with warm rose undertones. With an LRV of 26, it grounds a space with quiet intensity, working beautifully in dens, master bedrooms, and formal dining rooms. For a cross-brand equivalent, Hirshfield's's Royal Velvet is a near-identical match. Benjamin Moore's Black runs close as well. Try it alongside a cool-toned accent to create visual balance, or lean into warmth with natural wood tones.
