What color is Benjamin Moore Cupid's Dart?
Benjamin Moore Cupid's Dart 1385 is a muted, medium-depth purple with a noticeably gray cast that keeps it grounded rather than sugary. Its blend of violet and soft plum reads slightly cool, especially in north-facing rooms or under crisp LED lighting. In warmer afternoon light, the shade can show a gentler, dustier purple character. Use it on a bedroom wall, a reading nook, or painted built-ins where its quiet depth can add definition without turning the room overly dark. Cupid's Dart pairs well with warm off-whites, pale greige, charcoal, natural oak, and brushed brass accents.

LRV of Cupid's Dart
Cupid's Dart has an LRV of 17.05% 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 17.05%, 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.
