What color is Benjamin Moore Lazy Afternoon?
Benjamin Moore Lazy Afternoon 1378 is a muted medium-depth purple with dusty mauve and gray undertones. Its softened saturation keeps the color from reading overly sweet, giving it a grounded, slightly shadowed appearance on walls. In bright natural light, Lazy Afternoon can show more of its faded violet cast, while lower lighting brings forward its deeper plum character. It suits a bedroom, powder room, or reading nook, especially alongside warm white trim, charcoal textiles, aged brass, and natural oak. For a more defined use, try this shade on built-in cabinetry or a single accent wall paired with pale greige or soft blush furnishings.

LRV of Lazy Afternoon
Lazy Afternoon has an LRV of 18.42% 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 18.42%, 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.
