What color is Benjamin Moore Grape Gum?
Benjamin Moore Grape Gum 2068-20 is a deep blue-violet with a muted, inky cast that gives it substantial visual weight. Its cool purple undertone is noticeable without turning bright or sugary, especially alongside crisp white trim. In daylight, this shade can read as a subdued indigo-purple, while lower light brings out its darker, almost midnight character. It makes a strong choice for a den, dining room, powder room, or built-in cabinetry where a saturated dark color can define the architecture. Pair Grape Gum with soft grayed whites, pale lavender, brushed nickel, or light oak to keep the contrast clear and grounded.

LRV of Grape Gum
Grape Gum has an LRV of 7.21% 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 7.21%, 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.
