What color is Benjamin Moore Wishing Well?
Benjamin Moore Wishing Well 1389 is a muted lavender with soft gray and faint rosy undertones. Its light-to-medium value keeps the purple present without making a room feel overly sweet or pastel-heavy. In north-facing light, the cooler violet cast may come forward, while warmer bulbs can draw out its subtle mauve warmth. It suits bedrooms, powder rooms, and reading nooks, especially on walls paired with warm white trim. Try it alongside pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or creamy linen textiles for a grounded contrast.

LRV of Wishing Well
Wishing Well has an LRV of 51.35% 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 51.35%, 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.
