What color is Benjamin Moore Violet Sparkle?

Benjamin Moore Violet Sparkle 1422 is a very light, cool-toned gray with a subtle blue-violet cast visible in its #D6D8DF color value. Its low saturation keeps the hue quiet and airy rather than overtly purple, making it read mostly as a softened pale gray on broad walls. In daylight, the blue note may appear a little clearer, while warmer artificial light can make the color look more neutral. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and softly lit living areas, especially alongside crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents. Use Violet Sparkle on walls or ceilings when you want a faint hint of color without moving far from a light neutral.

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 68.65%, 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.
