Benjamin Moore Cabernet 2116-30 is a muted, medium-dark plum with gray-brown softness that keeps it from reading overly purple. Its low-saturation violet cast can look smokier in cool daylight and a little warmer, more wine-toned under incandescent lighting. Use it on a dining room wall, bedroom accent wall, or built-in cabinetry where a grounded color is wanted without the weight of near-black. Cabernet pairs well with soft warm whites, mushroom taupes, charcoal accents, and natural oak or walnut. Brushed brass, aged bronze, and matte black hardware all give this shade a clean, considered contrast.
