What color is Benjamin Moore Plum Perfect?
Benjamin Moore Plum Perfect 1371 is a muted, mid-depth plum with a softened mauve cast that keeps it from reading overly purple. Its blend of red and violet undertones gives walls a warm, dusky look, especially in rooms with afternoon or incandescent light. In cooler daylight, Plum Perfect can appear a little grayer and more restrained. It brings welcome depth to a bedroom, dining room, or powder room, and also makes a considered choice for a single accent wall or painted built-ins. Pair it with creamy off-whites, mushroom taupes, charcoal accents, and natural oak or walnut for a grounded finish.

LRV of Plum Perfect
Plum Perfect has an LRV of 18% 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%, 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.
