What color is Benjamin Moore Ultra Violet?
Benjamin Moore Ultra Violet 1372 is a muted, medium-dark violet with a plum cast and a gently softened finish. Its blend of purple and subdued red gives it more warmth than a crisp blue-violet, while the low-key saturation keeps it from feeling overly bright. In daylight, Ultra Violet can read as a dusty purple; under warmer lamps, its wine-toned side becomes more noticeable. It has enough depth for a dining room, powder room, or bedroom accent wall, and can also bring character to painted cabinetry. Pair it with warm off-whites, charcoal, aged brass, natural oak, or soft gray textiles for a grounded look.

LRV of Ultra Violet
Ultra Violet has an LRV of 12.78% 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 12.78%, 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.
