About Your Majesty

Your Majesty (1400) is a very dark, medium-strength purple from Benjamin Moore that leans blue. With an LRV of 10, Your Majesty absorbs most light. It creates a dramatic, enveloping look and suits accent walls, cabinetry and well-lit rooms.

North-facing light makes Your Majesty read cooler and slightly darker, while warm south-facing light softens it. It's a good fit for accent walls, front doors, cabinetry and powder rooms. Next to Mauve Bauhaus (1407), it's warmer.

How Your Majesty changes with the light

Your Majesty 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.

N

North-facing rooms

Your Majesty will read even deeper in north light: great for a cozy, enveloping room, less so if you want it bright.

E

East-facing rooms

Your Majesty will look warmer and brighter in the morning and cooler and grayer by afternoon; check a sample at both times.

S

South-facing rooms

South light keeps Your Majesty from feeling heavy, so deep colors work well here.

W

West-facing rooms

Your Majesty looks cool in the morning and warms up in the golden late-afternoon light.
