What color is Benjamin Moore Crushed Velvet?
Benjamin Moore Crushed Velvet 2076-10 is a deep, saturated berry red with a noticeable magenta-violet cast. Its dark value gives it weight on a wall, while the red content keeps it from reading flat or brown. In daylight, Crushed Velvet can show more of its raspberry richness; under warm evening lamps, it settles into a darker wine-toned shade. It makes a strong choice for a dining room, powder room, or a single dramatic wall behind a bed. Pair it with warm ivory trim, black accents, aged brass, walnut, or pale pink-beige textiles to let its color remain the focal point.

LRV of Crushed Velvet
Crushed Velvet has an LRV of 8.98% 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 8.98%, 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.
