What color is Benjamin Moore Pale Iris?

Benjamin Moore Pale Iris 2073-60 is a light, softly muted lavender with a noticeable pink cast, reflected in its pale #E3CCE0 color value. It reads warm for a purple, bringing a powdery violet tint rather than a crisp blue-lilac look. In bright daylight, Pale Iris can appear airy and lightly floral, while lower or warmer lighting may draw out its rosy softness. It suits bedroom walls, a small dressing area, or a powder room where a gentle wash of color feels more interesting than off-white. Pair it with creamy whites, light oak, brushed brass, and dusty green accents for a grounded, understated palette.

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 63.61%, 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.
