What color is Benjamin Moore Charmed Violet?
Benjamin Moore Charmed Violet 1398 is a muted medium violet with a softened gray cast that keeps its purple presence from feeling overly sweet or bright. Its blue-leaning character gives the color a cool appearance, while the moderate depth helps it read clearly on a full wall. In daylight, Charmed Violet can appear like a gentle lavender-purple; under warmer artificial light, its dusky quality may become more noticeable. It suits a bedroom, reading nook, or powder room, and also makes a considered accent on built-ins or a painted interior door. Pair it with soft white trim, pale gray, charcoal, natural oak, or brushed nickel for a clean, grounded contrast.

LRV of Charmed Violet
Charmed Violet has an LRV of 24.34% 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 24.34%, 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.
