What color is Benjamin Moore Irises?
Benjamin Moore Irises 1440 is a muted blue-gray with a cool cast and a lightly softened, violet-leaning edge. Its medium depth gives it enough presence for a full room without reading as overly dark or saturated. In daylight, Irises tends to show its quiet blue character, while warmer lamps can bring out a gentler gray-lavender look. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and home offices, especially alongside clean white trim, pale oak, charcoal textiles, or brushed nickel hardware. Use it on walls for a calm, grounded backdrop, or on cabinetry for a restrained hit of color.

LRV of Irises
Irises has an LRV of 26.16% 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 26.16%, 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.
