Benjamin Moore

Rapture

CC-66

Rapture by Benjamin Moore is a deep scarlet red with a visible violet undertone that sharpens its overall character. At an LRV of 10.78, it absorbs most ambient light, creating concentrated color density on walls. The violet shift distinguishes it from standard reds, pulling cooler in daylight and warmer under incandescent bulbs.

White Dove and Simply White are effective high-contrast trim pairings that prevent the space from feeling closed in. Hale Navy provides a deep complementary anchor, while Hunter Green introduces a rich, analogous-range contrast. Mauve Mist softens transitions in adjacent spaces.

Rapture in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
