What color is Benjamin Moore Spring Iris?
Benjamin Moore Spring Iris 1402 is a pale, muted lavender with a soft gray cast that keeps it from reading overly sweet or purple. Its light value gives walls an airy appearance, while the subtle cool undertone is especially noticeable beside creamy whites or warm wood finishes. In bright daylight, Spring Iris can look like a quiet lavender-gray; under warmer evening bulbs, it may appear a little softer and more silvery. It suits bedrooms, powder rooms, and reading nooks where a low-saturation color adds definition without making the room feel dark. Pair it with crisp white trim, weathered oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or deeper plum textiles for contrast.

LRV of Spring Iris
Spring Iris has an LRV of 64.78% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 64.78%, 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.
