What color is Benjamin Moore Autumn Purple?
Benjamin Moore Autumn Purple 2073-20 is a deep, muted plum with a noticeable berry-red cast beneath its purple base. Its low-light depth gives walls a grounded, enveloping look, while daylight can bring out the color’s softened wine and mauve notes. Use Autumn Purple in a dining room, powder room, or bedroom where a darker wall color can feel intentional rather than heavy. It pairs especially well with warm ivory trim, dusty blush textiles, walnut wood, aged brass, and charcoal accents. On cabinetry or a single focal wall, this shade adds concentrated color without reading overly bright.

LRV of Autumn Purple
Autumn Purple has an LRV of 7.39% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 7.39%, 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.
