What color is Benjamin Moore Sugarplum?
Benjamin Moore Sugarplum 1394 is a pale, muted lavender with a soft gray cast that keeps it from reading overly sweet or pastel. Its cool violet undertone is most noticeable in clear daylight, while warmer bulbs can make the color appear a little more powdery and subdued. Sugarplum suits bedrooms, dressing areas, and powder rooms where a light wash of color feels more interesting than plain white. Pair it with crisp white trim for contrast, or use it alongside dove gray, pale taupe, brushed nickel, and light oak for a quiet, layered palette. On walls, this shade has enough subtle color to define the room without making it feel dark.

LRV of Sugarplum
Sugarplum has an LRV of 73.4% and refers to Off‑White 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 73.4%, 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.
