What color is Benjamin Moore Amethyst Cream?
Benjamin Moore Amethyst Cream 2071-50 is a light, muted lavender with a soft gray cast that keeps the purple from feeling overly sweet. Its blue-violet character reads coolest in north-facing rooms or dim evening light, while warmer daylight can bring out a gentler, powdery quality. Use it on bedroom, nursery, or powder room walls where a pale color can still provide visible definition. Crisp white trim sharpens the contrast, while pale oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal textiles give this shade a grounded, contemporary look. It can also make a distinctive accent on a painted dresser or interior door.

LRV of Amethyst Cream
Amethyst Cream has an LRV of 46.44% 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 46.44%, 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.
