What color is Benjamin Moore California Lilac?
Benjamin Moore California Lilac 2068-40 is a medium-depth blue-violet with a clear periwinkle cast and a softly muted finish. Its cool blue base keeps the lavender element from reading overly sweet, while the moderate saturation gives it enough presence for a full wall. In bright daylight, California Lilac can appear cleaner and bluer; under warmer lamps, its violet side becomes more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, reading nooks, or a powder room, and can also make a distinctive choice for painted cabinetry. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale gray-blue textiles, light oak, or brushed nickel for a composed, color-focused scheme.

LRV of California Lilac
California Lilac has an LRV of 27.35% 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 27.35%, 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.
