What color is Benjamin Moore Peerage?

Benjamin Moore Peerage CC-36 is a deep, muted purple with a shadowy plum cast and a noticeably low-light character. Its balanced red and blue presence keeps it from reading overly wine-like or sharply violet, while the subdued green component gives it a smoky, softened finish. In bright daylight, Peerage can show more of its purple identity; under warm lamps or in dim rooms, it settles into an almost charcoal-dark aubergine. Use it for a dramatic dining room, library, powder room, or built-in cabinetry, especially alongside warm white trim, aged brass, walnut, and natural linen. Pale mushroom neutrals and dusty mauves can lighten the contrast without pulling attention away from this shade’s depth.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 7.04%, 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.
