What color is Benjamin Moore Hydrangea?
Benjamin Moore Hydrangea 1390 is a muted medium lavender with a soft gray cast that keeps its purple character understated. Its blue-violet base is tempered by a hint of rosy warmth, so it reads less icy than many pale purples. In bright daylight, Hydrangea can look clearer and slightly cooler, while evening light tends to bring forward its dustier mauve side. It suits bedroom walls, a powder room, or a painted accent such as a bookcase or vanity. Pair it with warm white trim, weathered oak, brushed nickel, charcoal textiles, or creamy stone for a grounded finish.
LRV of Hydrangea
Hydrangea has an LRV of 37.23% 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 37.23%, 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.
