What color is Benjamin Moore Twilight Magenta?

Benjamin Moore Twilight Magenta 2074-30 is a medium-deep muted magenta with a noticeable violet cast and a softly dusty finish. Its #9B4A80 color value places it between berry and plum, giving it enough depth to read as grounded rather than bright or candy-like. In strong daylight, the red-magenta side may appear more apparent, while lower or warmer light can bring out its deeper purple character. Use Twilight Magenta on a powder room wall, a dining-room accent, or built-in cabinetry where a richer color can hold its own. It pairs well with warm white trim, charcoal, soft taupe, and natural oak, as well as brushed brass or blackened metal details.

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 15.29%, 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.
