What color is Behr Cherished?
Behr Cherished M110-4 is a muted mid-tone mauve with a visible blend of dusty pink and soft violet. Its grayed quality keeps the color from reading overly sweet, giving it enough restraint for full walls in a bedroom, powder room, or reading nook. In bright daylight, Cherished can show a rosier cast, while cooler light tends to bring forward its lavender side. Pair it with creamy off-whites, weathered oak, brushed brass, or charcoal accents for contrast. It also makes a considered choice for an accent wall or painted vanity when a stronger color statement is wanted without moving into deep plum territory.

LRV of Cherished
Cherished has an LRV of 37.47% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 37.47%, 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.
