What color is Benjamin Moore Enchanted?

Benjamin Moore Enchanted 2070-50 is a light, muted blue-violet with a noticeable lavender cast. Its softened saturation keeps it from reading overly sweet or bright, while the blue presence gives the color a cool, airy look. In daylight, Enchanted can appear closer to a pale periwinkle; under warmer bulbs, its violet undertone is likely to come forward. It suits bedroom walls, a powder room, or a painted ceiling where a gentle wash of color is wanted. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale gray textiles, light oak, or brushed nickel for a clean, understated scheme.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 44.57%, 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.
