Violets Are Blue combines the depth of a medium, warm blue with subtle blush undertones for a earthy effect. With an LRV of 53, it strikes a balance that suits both traditional and contemporary spaces, from dining rooms to dens. For a cross-brand equivalent, Valspar's Violet Twist is an extremely close match. Behr's Velvet Curtain runs close as well. It pairs well with crisp whites for contrast and warm metallics like brass or gold for cohesion.
