What color is Benjamin Moore Purple Cream?
Benjamin Moore Purple Cream 2073-70 is a very pale lavender-tinted pink with a soft, powdery appearance. Its high lightness keeps the color airy on broad walls, while the subtle purple cast gives it more character than a standard off-white. In daylight, Purple Cream can read as a delicate blush-lilac; under warmer bulbs, its pink notes may become more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, dressing areas, nurseries, or a light-filled powder room, especially alongside warm white trim, pale oak, brushed brass, and muted gray-violet textiles. For a quieter contrast, pair this shade with charcoal accents or deep plum details rather than bright primary colors.

LRV of Purple Cream
Purple Cream has an LRV of 77.12% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of 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 77.12%, 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.
