What color is Benjamin Moore Beach Plum?
Benjamin Moore Beach Plum 2072-60 is a pale, muted lavender with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it from reading overly sweet or pastel. Its soft violet undertone is most apparent in balanced daylight, while lower or warmer lighting can make it look closer to a silvery lilac. This light shade has enough coolness for a north-facing bedroom, bath, or dressing area, especially alongside crisp white trim. Pair it with charcoal, soft taupe, weathered oak, brushed nickel, or deep plum accents to give the room more definition. Beach Plum is especially well suited to full walls where its subtle color can be appreciated without overwhelming the space.

LRV of Beach Plum
Beach Plum has an LRV of 62.46% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 62.46%, 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.
