What color is Benjamin Moore Darkest Grape?
Benjamin Moore Darkest Grape 2069-30 is a deep, muted blue-violet with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it from reading overly bright or sugary. Its low-to-mid saturation gives the color a reserved, slightly smoky appearance, while the purple undertone becomes clearer beside crisp whites or pale grays. In strong daylight, Darkest Grape can show more of its cool indigo character; under warm lamps, it settles into a softer charcoal-plum impression. It makes a focused choice for a study, dining room, powder room, or built-in cabinetry, especially with warm white trim, aged brass, walnut, and natural linen.

LRV of Darkest Grape
Darkest Grape has an LRV of 13.09% 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 13.09%, 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.
