What color is Benjamin Moore Dark Lilac?
Benjamin Moore Dark Lilac 2070-30 is a deep, muted purple with a noticeable gray-blue cast that keeps it from reading overly sweet or floral. Its low-to-mid brightness gives walls visual weight, especially in bedrooms, dining rooms, or a compact powder room. In brighter daylight, the violet character is clearer; under warm evening lamps, this shade can appear smokier and more subdued. Pair Dark Lilac with soft off-whites, weathered oak, charcoal textiles, or brushed nickel for a restrained palette. It also makes a strong choice for built-in shelving, a painted door, or cabinetry where a darker color can add definition without reading black.

LRV of Dark Lilac
Dark Lilac has an LRV of 10.44% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 10.44%, 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.
