What color is Benjamin Moore Kalamata?
Benjamin Moore Kalamata AF-630 is a muted, mid-dark plum with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it from reading overly purple. Its blend of dusty mauve, berry, and softened brown undertones gives walls depth without the sharpness of a jewel tone. In bright daylight, Kalamata can appear like a faded wine color, while lower or warmer light brings forward its earthy, reddish side. It suits a dining room, powder room, library, or bedroom accent wall, and can also make cabinetry feel grounded and distinctive. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm taupe, pale blush, aged brass, walnut, or natural linen for a layered, lived-in look.

LRV of Kalamata
Kalamata has an LRV of 11.31% 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 11.31%, 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.
