What color is Benjamin Moore Majestic Mauve?
Benjamin Moore Majestic Mauve 2115-60 is a very light, muted mauve with a soft gray cast that keeps the pink-violet color feeling restrained. Its pale value makes it read almost like an off-white from a distance, while closer views reveal a dusty blush-lilac tint. In bright daylight, this shade can appear airy and lightly cool; under warm lamps, its gentle rosy side becomes more noticeable. Use it on bedroom, dressing-room, or powder-room walls with warm white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and natural linen. Deep charcoal, mushroom taupe, and muted plum accents give Majestic Mauve a little more definition without overwhelming its subtle color.

LRV of Majestic Mauve
Majestic Mauve has an LRV of 68.41% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 68.41%, 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.
