What color is Benjamin Moore Wisp of Mauve?
Benjamin Moore Wisp of Mauve 2098-60 is a light, muted blush neutral with a soft pink-beige cast. Its low saturation keeps the color from reading sugary, giving it a lightly weathered, powdery appearance on broad walls. In warm afternoon light, Wisp of Mauve can show more of its rosy warmth, while cooler daylight may pull out its grayed, taupe-like side. It suits bedrooms, dressing areas, and powder rooms, especially alongside creamy white trim, pale oak, brushed brass, or warm gray stone. Use it on all four walls for a gentle wash of color, or pair it with deeper plum, charcoal, or brown accents for more definition.

LRV of Wisp of Mauve
Wisp of Mauve has an LRV of 60.39% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 60.39%, 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.
