What color is Benjamin Moore Purple Hyacinth?
Benjamin Moore Purple Hyacinth 2073-40 is a medium-depth muted purple with a noticeable rosy cast, reflected in its soft mauve-violet appearance. It has enough grayness to feel grounded rather than overly bright, making it especially effective for a bedroom, powder room, or reading nook. In warm light, Purple Hyacinth can appear more plum and pink-toned, while cooler daylight brings out its violet side. Pair it with creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, pale oak, or brushed brass for contrast that keeps the color from feeling overly sweet. It also makes a strong choice for an upholstered accent piece, interior door, or small run of cabinetry.

LRV of Purple Hyacinth
Purple Hyacinth has an LRV of 28.2% and refers to Medium 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 28.2%, 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.
