About Camelot
Camelot (CC-4) is a very dark purple from Benjamin Moore with a soft pink undertone. With an LRV of 8, Camelot absorbs most light. It creates a dramatic, enveloping look and suits accent walls, cabinetry and well-lit rooms.
In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Camelot's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for accent walls, front doors, cabinetry and powder rooms. Next to Chambourd (AF-645), it's lighter.
How Camelot changes with the light
Camelot is a deep color. In north-facing or dim rooms it reads darker and cozier; in south-facing rooms it shows more of its color. Either can work, depending on the mood you want.
North-facing rooms
Camelot will read even deeper in north light: great for a cozy, enveloping room, less so if you want it bright.
East-facing rooms
Camelot will look warmer and brighter in the morning and cooler and grayer by afternoon; check a sample at both times.
South-facing rooms
South light keeps Camelot from feeling heavy, so deep colors work well here.
West-facing rooms
Camelot looks cool in the morning and warms up in the golden late-afternoon light.
