What color is Benjamin Moore Spring Violet?
Benjamin Moore Spring Violet 2117-50 is a light, muted violet with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it from reading overly sweet or decorative. Its soft blue-violet undertone gives the color a cool lean, while the low saturation makes it gentle enough for broad wall coverage. In daylight, Spring Violet can appear like a pale lavender-gray; warmer lamps may draw out a faintly softer, dustier purple note. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and reading corners where a quiet wash of color is wanted without a strong contrast. Pair it with crisp white trim, charcoal accents, pale oak, brushed nickel, or deeper plum textiles for definition.

LRV of Spring Violet
Spring Violet has an LRV of 42.87% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 42.87%, 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.
