What color is Benjamin Moore Eggplant?
Benjamin Moore Eggplant 1379 is a muted, medium-dark plum with a dusty berry cast rather than a sharply saturated purple. Its red-violet base gives it a gentle warmth, while the softened gray-brown quality keeps the color grounded on large walls. In bright daylight, Eggplant can read as a faded mauve-plum; lower or warmer lighting brings out its deeper wine-toned side. It suits dining rooms, bedrooms, and powder rooms, and also makes an effective accent on cabinetry or a painted interior door. Pair it with soft warm whites, mushroom beige, aged brass, walnut, or charcoal for a layered, grounded palette.

LRV of Eggplant
Eggplant has an LRV of 10.83% 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 10.83%, 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.
