What color is Benjamin Moore Quietly Violet?
Benjamin Moore Quietly Violet CSP-415 is a muted, mid-tone mauve with a softly weathered rose-brown cast. Its low saturation keeps the color grounded rather than sugary, giving walls a gentle, shadowed depth. In brighter daylight, the grayed quality is more noticeable, while warm lamps can draw out its dusty rosy warmth. Quietly Violet suits bedrooms, powder rooms, and dining spaces where a deeper neutral is wanted without moving into charcoal or chocolate. Pair it with warm ivory trim, aged brass, walnut, natural linen, or muted clay accents.

LRV of Quietly Violet
Quietly Violet has an LRV of 21.75% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 21.75%, 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.
