What color is Benjamin Moore Majestic Violet?
Benjamin Moore Majestic Violet 2068-10 is a deep, muted violet with a noticeable blue cast, shown here as the dark blue-purple #3A3450. Its low brightness gives walls a close, enveloping look, while the restrained saturation keeps it from reading like a bright jewel tone. In daylight, the blue-violet character is likely to appear clearer; under warm lamps, it can look softer and more shadowed. Use Majestic Violet on a library wall, dining room, powder room, or built-in cabinetry where a dark color can add definition without appearing black. Pale greige, soft gray, crisp white, aged brass, walnut, and warm natural linen provide useful contrast around this shade.

LRV of Majestic Violet
Majestic Violet has an LRV of 5.41% 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 5.41%, 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.
