What color is Benjamin Moore Wisteria?

Benjamin Moore Wisteria AF-585 is a muted medium-light gray with a noticeable cool blue-violet cast. Its low saturation keeps the color soft and quiet rather than overtly purple, while the slightly deeper value gives walls more presence than a pale off-white. In daylight, the bluish undertone is likely to read more clearly; under warm interior bulbs, it can appear closer to a balanced gray. Use Wisteria in bedrooms, studies, or living rooms with crisp white trim, charcoal accents, pale oak, brushed nickel, and soft ivory textiles. It also suits cabinetry or a single accent wall where a restrained cool gray is wanted without going fully blue.

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 34.8%, 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.
