What color is Benjamin Moore Victorian Mauve?
Benjamin Moore Victorian Mauve 2114-50 is a light, muted mauve with a softly grayed pink cast. Its low saturation keeps it from reading overly sweet, giving walls a quiet, powdery color that sits gently against white trim. In warm daylight or incandescent light, Victorian Mauve can show more of its rosy side, while cooler light makes its gray-violet influence more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, dressing areas, and powder rooms, and can also bring restrained color to cabinetry or a painted interior door. Pair it with creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, weathered wood, brushed nickel, or soft taupe textiles for a grounded finish.

LRV of Victorian Mauve
Victorian Mauve has an LRV of 48.07% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 48.07%, 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.
