What color is Benjamin Moore Rapture?
Benjamin Moore Rapture CC-66 is a deep, muted red with a noticeable berry cast, sitting closer to wine and raspberry than to a bright true red. Its low green content gives the shade a cool, slightly blue-based undertone, while the richness of the red keeps it from feeling stark. In bright daylight, Rapture can read as a clear dark crimson; at night or in shaded rooms, it settles into a more dramatic burgundy-red. It makes a strong choice for a dining room, powder room, library, or a single accent wall, and it can give cabinetry a bold, tailored look. Pair it with warm white trim, charcoal, deep navy, aged brass, walnut, or blackened metal for contrast that lets the color’s depth stand out.

LRV of Rapture
Rapture has an LRV of 10.78% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 10.78%, 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.
