What color is Benjamin Moore Crocus?
Benjamin Moore Crocus 1404 is a soft, muted lavender with a noticeable gray cast that keeps its purple character understated. The color sits at a light-to-medium depth, reading cool overall while its gently softened base prevents it from looking icy. In bright daylight, Crocus can appear clearer and a little more lilac, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its dusky, gray-violet side. It suits bedroom walls, a quiet reading nook, or painted furniture where a stronger purple would feel too sweet. Pair it with soft white trim, pale gray textiles, weathered oak, or charcoal accents for contrast.

LRV of Crocus
Crocus has an LRV of 43.2% 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 43.2%, 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.
