What color is Benjamin Moore Raphael?
Benjamin Moore Raphael CC-2 is a deep, muted red-brown with a subtle wine-toned cast. Its low-key saturation keeps it from reading overly red, while the dark value gives walls, cabinetry, or a front door substantial visual weight. In bright daylight, the brown base becomes more apparent; under warm evening lighting, its restrained burgundy notes can come forward. Use Raphael in a dining room, library, or powder room where a dark envelope suits the scale, or reserve it for built-ins and lower cabinets. It pairs well with warm ivory, aged brass, walnut, blackened metal, and natural stone with beige or russet variation.

LRV of Raphael
Raphael has an LRV of 6.66% 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 6.66%, 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.
