What color is Benjamin Moore White Violet?
Benjamin Moore White Violet 1408 is a very pale off-white with a soft gray-green cast that keeps it from reading stark or creamy. Its high lightness makes it a useful wall color for rooms that need brightness without the sharper look of a pure white. In daylight, White Violet can show its faint cool, botanical undertone more clearly, while warmer lamps may make it appear gentler and closer to a muted gray-white. Try it in bedrooms, bathrooms, or quiet living areas alongside light oak, brushed nickel, natural linen, and charcoal accents. It also provides a subtle backdrop for deeper green, slate blue, or warm black details.

LRV of White Violet
White Violet has an LRV of 81.56% and refers to Off‑White 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 81.56%, 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.
