What color is Benjamin Moore Chambourd?
Benjamin Moore Chambourd AF-645 is a deep, muted plum with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it from reading overly purple. Its reddish-violet base gives the color warmth, while the low saturation makes it feel grounded and shadowy rather than bright. In daylight, Chambourd can show more of its softened berry tone; under warm lamps, it tends to deepen into a rich brownish plum. Use it on a dining room wall, library, powder room, or built-in cabinetry where its depth can create definition without looking black. Pale putty, warm ivory, dusty rose, aged brass, walnut, and dark charcoal are especially natural companions.

What are Benjamin Moore Chambourd undertones?
Chambourd is a deep, very muted brownish taupe. The HEX sample has a subtle pink-red bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear pink-red. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Chambourd
Chambourd has an LRV of 8.61% 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 8.61%, 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.
