What color is Benjamin Moore Violet Pearl?

Benjamin Moore Violet Pearl 1451 is a light, low-saturation gray with a faint rosy-violet cast that keeps it from feeling stark. In daylight, it reads as a soft pale neutral, while warmer evening lighting can bring out its subtle pink-lilac undertone. Violet Pearl is well suited to bedroom, dressing room, or hallway walls where a quiet color is preferred over bright white. Pair it with creamy whites, weathered oak, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents for gentle contrast. Its restrained depth also makes it a considered option for painted cabinetry in spaces with ample natural light.

LRV of Violet Pearl

Violet Pearl has an LRV of 62.54% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 62.54%, 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.
