What color is Benjamin Moore Spring Lilac?

Benjamin Moore Spring Lilac 1388 is a pale, muted lavender with a soft gray cast that keeps it from feeling overly sweet. Its low saturation gives it an airy, lightly powdered appearance, while the nearly even red and blue tones create a balanced lilac impression. In brighter daylight, Spring Lilac looks clean and delicate; under warmer lamps, its subtle rosy side may become more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and quiet sitting rooms, especially on full walls where its light value can open up the space. Pair it with soft white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or muted sage textiles for a restrained, layered palette.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 62.89%, 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.
