What color is Benjamin Moore Purple Lotus?
Benjamin Moore Purple Lotus 2072-30 is a deep, muted violet with a softly smoky cast rather than a bright purple finish. Its low-saturation character gives the color a grounded look, while the subtle blue-violet direction keeps it feeling cooler than plum or wine tones. In daylight, Purple Lotus can read as a restrained charcoal-purple; under warm lamps, its dusky mauve notes become more apparent. It has enough depth for a dining room, study, or bedroom wall, and also makes a strong choice for built-ins or a painted interior door. Pair it with soft off-whites, weathered oak, black metal, or pale gray-beige textiles to keep the surrounding palette clear and balanced.

LRV of Purple Lotus
Purple Lotus has an LRV of 10.25% 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 10.25%, 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.
