What color is Benjamin Moore Tropical Dusk?
Benjamin Moore Tropical Dusk 2117-40 is a muted, medium-depth violet-gray with a noticeably softened, smoky cast. Its purple undertone is present without reading bright or sugary, giving walls a quiet dose of color while keeping the overall look grounded. In daylight, it can appear more gray-lilac; under warmer lamps, the violet character tends to feel a little fuller. Use Tropical Dusk in a bedroom, reading room, or powder room where a darker neutral feels more interesting than standard gray. Pair it with soft white trim, charcoal accents, pale oak, brushed nickel, or deep plum textiles for a layered palette.

LRV of Tropical Dusk
Tropical Dusk has an LRV of 23.32% and refers to Medium 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 23.32%, 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.
