What color is Benjamin Moore Central Mauve?
Benjamin Moore Central Mauve 1412 is a muted, medium-light lavender gray with a distinctly cool blue-violet cast. Its restrained saturation keeps the color from reading overly purple, giving walls a soft, hazy appearance rather than a sugary pastel look. In north-facing or low light, Central Mauve may lean more slate-like and blue, while warmer daylight can bring out its gentle mauve note. It suits bedrooms, powder rooms, and quiet living spaces, especially alongside soft white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal accents. For a more layered palette, pair this shade with dusty blue textiles, deep plum details, or warm gray furnishings.

LRV of Central Mauve
Central Mauve has an LRV of 39.96% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 39.96%, 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.
