What color is Benjamin Moore Plum Royale?
Benjamin Moore Plum Royale 2070-20 is a deep, muted purple with a charcoal-like base and a noticeable violet cast. Its low-key saturation keeps it from reading overly bright, while the slightly cool character gives the color a dense, shadowy presence. In daylight, the purple undertone is easier to see; under lower light, Plum Royale can appear closer to a dark plum-charcoal. It makes a strong choice for a dining room, library, bedroom accent wall, or painted cabinetry where a dark color is wanted without using plain black. Pair it with soft off-whites, pale grayed lavenders, warm wood, brushed brass, or matte black details for contrast.
LRV of Plum Royale
Plum Royale has an LRV of 6.38% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 6.38%, 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.
