What color is Benjamin Moore Blackberry Punch?
Benjamin Moore Blackberry Punch CC-962 is a deep, cool charcoal with a noticeable blue-gray cast. Its low brightness gives it a grounded, nearly black appearance, while the subtle violet-blue influence keeps it from reading flat or brown. In bright daylight, Blackberry Punch can show more of its slate-blue character; at night or in low light, it settles into a dense inky neutral. It has enough color presence for a dramatic study, dining room, or bedroom wall, and it can also give cabinetry a clean, modern contrast. Pair it with soft off-whites, pale gray-blue textiles, brushed nickel, blackened metal, or light oak to highlight its cool depth.

LRV of Blackberry Punch
Blackberry Punch has an LRV of 7.31% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 7.31%, 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.
