What color is Benjamin Moore Deep Mauve?
Benjamin Moore Deep Mauve 1265 is a muted mid-tone rose with a dusky, brown-leaning cast that keeps it from reading overly pink. Its #996E6F color value gives it a softened red presence, with enough grayness to feel grounded on larger wall surfaces. In bright daylight, Deep Mauve can appear like a faded clay rose, while lower or warmer light brings out its deeper wine-and-brown character. It suits bedrooms, dining rooms, and powder rooms where a fuller wall color is welcome, and it can also make a distinctive cabinet or interior door finish. Pair it with warm ivory, putty, dark walnut, aged brass, or charcoal for contrast.

LRV of Deep Mauve
Deep Mauve has an LRV of 19.88% 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 19.88%, 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.
