What color is Benjamin Moore Galaxy?
Benjamin Moore Galaxy 2117-20 is a deep, muted charcoal with a noticeable violet-gray cast. Its near-black depth gives walls definition without reading as flat black, while the subtle purple influence keeps the color from feeling overly stark. In brighter natural light, Galaxy can show more of its smoky plum undertone; under warm evening lighting, it tends to look softer and more shadowed. It is well suited to a dramatic dining room, den, powder room, or an accent wall behind a bed. Pair it with soft off-whites, weathered oak, brushed brass, and gray-beige textiles to bring out its complex, grounded character.

LRV of Galaxy
Galaxy has an LRV of 6.33% 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 6.33%, 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.
