What color is Benjamin Moore Faded Violet?
Benjamin Moore Faded Violet CSP-455 is a muted blue-violet gray with a soft, powdery appearance. Its cool cast is most apparent in daylight, where the blue and violet notes come forward, while warmer evening light can make it read more like a gentle gray. The color has enough depth for full walls in a bedroom, study, or quiet hallway without making the room feel overly dark. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents to emphasize its understated coolness. On cabinetry or a painted built-in, Faded Violet creates a restrained contrast against warmer wood floors and cream-toned textiles.

LRV of Faded Violet
Faded Violet has an LRV of 29.18% 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 29.18%, 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.
