What color is Benjamin Moore Summer Plum?
Benjamin Moore Summer Plum 2074-20 is a deep, muted plum with a clear berry-red cast beneath its violet base. Its medium-dark value gives it presence without reading as nearly black, while the softened saturation keeps the color grounded. In bright daylight, the reddish-purple character is more apparent; lower light can make it feel darker and more wine-toned. Use Summer Plum on a dining room wall, powder room, or built-in cabinetry where a concentrated color can be appreciated up close. It pairs well with warm white trim, pale blush accents, aged brass, walnut, and charcoal-gray textiles.

LRV of Summer Plum
Summer Plum has an LRV of 9.6% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 9.6%, 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.
