What color is Benjamin Moore Orleans Violet?

Benjamin Moore Orleans Violet 1374 is a pale, muted pink with a faint gray cast that keeps it from reading overly sweet. Its soft red-violet tint is subtle rather than saturated, giving walls a lightly powdered, almost blush-toned appearance. In bright daylight, this shade can look clean and airy; under warm lamps, its rosy undertone becomes more noticeable. Orleans Violet suits bedrooms, dressing areas, nurseries, and powder rooms where a quiet wash of color is wanted. Pair it with warm white trim, light oak, aged brass, soft charcoal, or deeper plum accents for contrast.

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 67.51%, 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.
