What color is Benjamin Moore Amethyst Sky?
Benjamin Moore Amethyst Sky 1447 is a muted mauve-gray with a soft violet cast and a gently dusty finish. Its mid-light depth keeps it present on a wall without making a room feel dark, while the restrained saturation prevents it from reading overly pink or purple. In bright daylight, the color can show more of its cool lavender-gray side; warmer evening lighting tends to bring forward its rosy undertone. It suits bedrooms, powder rooms, and reading nooks, especially alongside warm white trim, charcoal accents, pale oak, and brushed brass. Use Amethyst Sky across all four walls for a quietly colored backdrop or on cabinetry and an accent wall for a more focused application.

What are Benjamin Moore Amethyst Sky undertones?
Amethyst Sky is a mid-light, very muted muted taupe. The HEX sample has a subtle pink-red bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear pink-red. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Amethyst Sky
Amethyst Sky has an LRV of 31.96% and refers to Medium 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 31.96%, 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.
