What color is Benjamin Moore Cabernet?
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.

LRV of Cabernet
Cabernet has an LRV of 12.66% 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 12.66%, 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.
