What color is Benjamin Moore Inspired?

Benjamin Moore Inspired AF-595 is a muted mauve-gray with a soft violet cast and medium-light depth. Its low saturation keeps the color grounded, so it reads more like a weathered neutral than a distinctly purple wall paint. In daylight, Inspired can show its dusty lavender notes, while warmer evening lighting may bring out a slightly rosier, grayer appearance. It suits bedrooms, powder rooms, and quiet sitting areas, especially alongside warm white trim, charcoal accents, walnut furniture, or aged brass hardware. Use it on full walls for a gentle wash of color or on cabinetry where its gray base can keep a painted finish from feeling overly sweet.

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 36.66%, 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.
