What color is Behr Chakra?
Behr Chakra P100-6 is a muted mid-tone purple with a dusty plum cast and enough grayness to keep it from reading overly sweet or bright. Its red and violet notes can look a little warmer in lamplight, while cooler daylight brings forward its more restrained purple side. Use Chakra on a bedroom wall, reading nook, or dining room where a deeper color can add definition without becoming too dark. It also makes a considered accent for built-ins or a single painted door. Pair it with soft mushroom beige, warm off-white, charcoal, or natural oak, and consider aged brass or blackened metal for contrast.

LRV of Chakra
Chakra has an LRV of 16.68% 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 16.68%, 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.
