What color is Benjamin Moore Victorian Purple?
Benjamin Moore Victorian Purple 1370 is a muted mid-tone purple with a noticeable rosy cast, reading more like dusty mauve than a deep violet. Its softened saturation keeps the color from feeling overly sweet, while the red-violet base adds gentle warmth. In bright daylight, Victorian Purple can appear lighter and pinker; under warmer lamps, its plum notes become more apparent. It suits bedrooms, dressing areas, powder rooms, or a single accent wall where a quiet dose of color is wanted. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, charcoal gray, or soft putty neutrals for a grounded finish.

LRV of Victorian Purple
Victorian Purple has an LRV of 34.72% 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 34.72%, 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.
