What color is Behr Blackberry Jam?
Behr Blackberry Jam S100-6 is a muted, medium-dark purple with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it from reading overly sweet or bright. Its subtle violet-plum undertone gives the color depth, while the low saturation makes it feel grounded on broad wall areas. In daylight, Blackberry Jam can look like a softened charcoal-purple; under warm evening bulbs, its plum character becomes more apparent. It suits a dining room, study, or bedroom where a darker wall color can add definition without becoming near-black. Pair it with creamy off-whites, pale greige, weathered oak, brushed brass, or black accents for contrast.

LRV of Blackberry Jam
Blackberry Jam has an LRV of 13.37% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 13.37%, 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.
