What color is Benjamin Moore Amethyst Shadow?
Benjamin Moore Amethyst Shadow 1441 is a muted blue-gray with a gently violet cast that keeps it from reading flat or purely neutral. Its medium depth gives walls noticeable color without making a room feel overly dark. In daylight, the gray-blue side is likely to feel clearer, while lower or warmer lighting can bring out its softer purple influence. Try it in a bedroom, study, or dining room with crisp white trim, pale oak, charcoal textiles, and brushed nickel or black metal details. Amethyst Shadow also has enough presence for cabinetry or a painted accent wall when paired with lighter surrounding finishes.

LRV of Amethyst Shadow
Amethyst Shadow has an LRV of 18.29% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 18.29%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
