Benjamin Moore

Purple Cream

2073-70

Purple Cream is a soft lilac from Benjamin Moore with subtle pink undertones that keep it from reading as a true lavender. At an LRV of 77.12, it reflects a considerable amount of light and maintains an airy, open quality on walls. This high reflectance makes it suitable for bedrooms, nurseries, and smaller rooms where brightness matters.

The pink influence gives it a gentle warmth that distinguishes it from cooler violets. It pairs naturally with Lavender Mist and Soft Satin for tonal layering, while Gray Owl and White Dove offer neutral grounding. Shadow provides a deeper accent option.
