What color is Benjamin Moore Violet Petal?
Benjamin Moore Violet Petal 1382 is a light, muted lavender with a soft gray cast that keeps it from reading overly sweet or pink. Its cool violet base is gentle enough for bedroom walls, a powder room, or a quiet reading corner, especially where a subtle wash of color is wanted. In bright daylight, Violet Petal can appear airy and silvery; under warmer lamps, its lilac notes become more noticeable. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents for contrast. It also suits painted furniture or a single accent wall when a full room of lavender feels like too much.
LRV of Violet Petal
Violet Petal has an LRV of 54.32% 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 54.32%, 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.
