Academy Purple reads as a warm deep, warm blue, shaped by its rosy undertones. With an LRV of 26, it adds depth and sophistication, well-suited for accent walls, powder rooms, and home offices. For a cross-brand equivalent, Benjamin Moore's Starry is a near-identical match. MPC's Napoleon Blue runs close as well. Try it alongside a cool-toned accent to create visual balance, or lean into warmth with natural wood tones.
